 Announcing a Tick
 -----------------
 
-RTEMS provides the ``rtems_clock_tick`` directive which is called from the
-user's real-time clock ISR to inform RTEMS that a tick has elapsed.  The tick
-frequency value, defined in microseconds, is a configuration parameter found in
-the Configuration Table.  RTEMS divides one million microseconds (one second)
-by the number of microseconds per tick to determine the number of calls to the
-``rtems_clock_tick`` directive per second.  The frequency of
-``rtems_clock_tick`` calls determines the resolution (granularity) for all time
-dependent RTEMS actions.  For example, calling ``rtems_clock_tick`` ten times
-per second yields a higher resolution than calling ``rtems_clock_tick`` two
-times per second.  The ``rtems_clock_tick`` directive is responsible for
