Micro-clocks are a named fixed point in time in microseconds.

#### Usage

[](#usage-2)

```
use Xylemical\Time\MicroClock;

$clock = new MicroClock('name'); // Defaults to current microtime.
$clock->setTime(microtime(TRUE)); // Changes the time to the current microtime.

$clock = new MicroClock('name', microtime(TRUE)); // Clock has current microtime.
```

### Timers

#### Usage

[](#usage-3)

$timer = new Timer('name'); // Timers are not started by default.
$timer->start();            // Starts the timer.
$timer->stop();             // Stops the timer.

echo $timer->getTime();         // Current the time as microtime.
echo $timer->getSeconds();      // Get the seconds for the timer.
echo $timer->getMicroseconds(); // Get the microseconds for the timer.

$timer->reset(); // R
