clockcapable

clockcapable refers to a feature or capability related to timekeeping within a system or device. It signifies that the entity in question has the ability to manage, track, or interact with time in a functional manner. This could encompass a range of functionalities, from simple internal clock maintenance to more complex operations like synchronization with external time sources, scheduling events, or measuring durations. The term is often used in software development and hardware design to denote components or modules that are responsible for handling temporal data. For instance, a clockcapable operating system kernel would be able to manage system time, process scheduling based on time intervals, and provide time-related APIs to applications. Similarly, a clockcapable processor might include internal timers or a real-time clock (RTC) component. The specific implementation and scope of clockcapable features can vary significantly depending on the context.
