+ * Also, several symbols are accepted as _clk_id_.
+ * They may be used as emulation for clock_gettime().
+ * For example, <code>Process::CLOCK_REALTIME</code> is defined as
+ * <code>:POSIX_GETTIMEOFDAY_CLOCK_REALTIME</code> when clock_gettime() is not available.
+ *
+ * [:POSIX_GETTIMEOFDAY_CLOCK_REALTIME] Use gettimeofday(). The precision is 1 micro second.
+ * [:POSIX_TIME_CLOCK_REALTIME] Use time(). The precision is 1 second.

* If the given _clk_id_ is not supported, Errno::EINVAL is raised.

* _unit_ specifies a type of the return value.
