- <p>Disable compensation for sudden changes of system time.</p>
- <p>Normally, <c><![CDATA[erlang:now/0]]></c> will not immediately reflect
- sudden changes in the system time, in order to keep timers
- (including <c><![CDATA[receive-after]]></c>) working. Instead, the time
- maintained by <c><![CDATA[erlang:now/0]]></c> is slowly adjusted towards
- the new system time. (Slowly means in one percent adjustments;
- if the time is off by one minute, the time will be adjusted
- in 100 minutes.)</p>
- <p>When the <c><![CDATA[+c]]></c> option is given, this slow adjustment
- will not take place. Instead <c><![CDATA[erlang:now/0]]></c> will always
- reflect the current system time. Note that timers are based
- on <c><![CDATA[erlang:now/0]]></c>. If the system time jumps, timers
- then time out at the wrong time.</p>
- <p><em>NOTE</em>: You can check whether the adjustment is enabled or
- disabled by calling
- <seealso marker="erlang#system_info_tolerant_timeofday">erlang:system_info(tolerant_timeofday)</seealso>.</p>
