NAME
hz
- system clock frequency
SYNOPSIS
int hz;
DESCRIPTION
hz
specifies the number of times the
hardclock(9)
timer ticks per second.
hz
is hardware-dependent; it can be overridden (if the machine dependent
code supports this) by defining
HZ
in the kernel configuration file (see
options(4)).
Only override the default value if you really know what you are
doing.
