The mandatory "name" field specifies the name of the clock identifier,
initial frequency of the clock, in Hz. If the "freq" field is not
present, the frequency is assumed to be 1000000000 (providing clock
increment of 1 ns). The optional "precision" field details the
-uncertainty on the clock measurements, in (1/freq) units. The "offset"
-field indicates the offset from POSIX.1 Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000
-(UTC), to the zero of value of the clock, in (1/freq) units. If the
-"offset" field is not present, it is assigned the 0 value.

Secondly, a reference to this clock should be added within an integer
type:
