# kIOTimerClockMonotonicRaw

A clock type that increments monotonically, and is unaffected by frequency or time adjustmets.

## Declaration

```occ
kIOTimerClockMonotonicRaw
```

## Discussion

Discussion This constant is the type of clock obtained by passing CLOCK_UPTIME_RAW to clock_gettime_nsec_np(_:). It’s equivalent to a value from mach_absolute_time(), but in nanoseconds.
