+ <item><p>Symbolic representation of the performance counter
+ time unit used by the Erlang runtime system.</p>
+
+ <p>The <c>perf_counter</c> time unit behaves much in the same way
+ as the <c>native</c> time unit. That is it might differ inbetween
+ run-time restarts. You get values of this type by calling
+ <seealso marker="kernel:os#perf_counter/0"><c>os:perf_counter()</c></seealso>
+ </p>
+ </item>

</taglist>
<p>The <c>time_unit/0</c> type may be extended. Use
