#simutime

##Syntax simutime : int

##Description The simutime function returns the number of simulated time units that have passed since program execution began.

##Details Simulated time only passes when all process are either paused or waiting. This simulates the fact that CPU time is effectively infinitely fast when compared to "pause" time.

##Example This prints out the simulated time passing between two processes. This will print out 3,_ 5_,_ 6_,_ 9_,_ 10_,_ 12_,_ 15_,_ 15_,_ 18_,_ 20_,_ 21_,_ �_

    process p (t : int)
        loop
            pause t
            put simutime
        end loop
    end p
    
    fork p (3)
    fork p (5)
