monotonic
This module provides a ``monotonic()`` function which returns the
value (in fractional seconds) of a clock which never goes backwards.
On Python 3.3 or newer, ``monotonic`` will be an alias of
``time.monotonic`` from the standard library. On older versions,
it will fall back to an equivalent implementation:
+------------------+----------------------------------------+
| Linux, BSD, AIX | ``clock_gettime(3)`` |
+------------------+----------------------------------------+
| Windows | ``GetTickCount`` or ``GetTickCount64`` |
+------------------+----------------------------------------+
| OS X | ``mach_absolute_time`` |
+------------------+----------------------------------------+
If no suitable implementation exists for the current platform,
attempting to import this module (or to import from it) will
cause a ``RuntimeError`` exception to be raised.
