Clock:

* On Windows, call ``GetSystemTimeAsFileTime()``.
* On Windows, call ``GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime()``.
* Call ``clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME)`` if available.
* Otherwise, call ``gettimeofday()``.

Use :func:`time_ns` to avoid the precision loss caused by the :class:`float`
type.

.. versionchanged:: 3.13

On Windows, calls ``GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime()`` instead of
``GetSystemTimeAsFileTime()``.


.. function:: time_ns() -> int
