## Usage

```Go

package main

import (

	"fmt"

	"github.com/tklauser/go-sysconf"

)

func main() {

	// get clock ticks, this will return the same as C.sysconf(C._SC_CLK_TCK)

	clktck, err := sysconf.Sysconf(sysconf.SC_CLK_TCK)

	if err == nil {

		fmt.Printf("SC_CLK_TCK: %v\n", clktck)

	}

}

```
