This function retrieves the frequency of the high-resolution performance counter if one is provided by the OEM.
Syntax
BOOL QueryPerformanceFrequency( LARGE_INTEGER* lpFrequency ); |
Parameters
- lpFrequency
-
[out] Pointer to a variable that the function sets, in counts per second, to the current performance-counter frequency.
If the installed hardware does not support a high-resolution performance counter, the value passed back through this pointer can be zero.
Return Value
TRUE indicates that a performance frequency value was successfully filled in. FALSE indicates failure.
Remarks
If the hardware does not support a high frequency counter, QueryPerformanceFrequencywill return 1000 because the API defaults to a milliseconds GetTickCountimplementation.
