.SH NAME
\fBMPI_Wtick\fP \- Returns the resolution of MPI_Wtime.
.SH SYNTAX
.ft R

#include <mpi.h>
double MPI_Wtick()
.fi
.SH RETURN VALUE
.ft R
Time in seconds of resolution of MPI_Wtime.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.ft R
MPI_Wtick returns the resolution of MPI_Wtime in seconds. That is, it
returns, as a double-precision value, the number of seconds between
successive clock ticks. For example, if the clock is implemented by
the hardware as a counter that is incremented every millisecond, the
value returned by MPI_Wtick should be 10^-3.

.SH NOTE
This function does not return an error value. Consequently, the result
of calling it before MPI_Init or after MPI_Finalize is undefined.
