CI_Benchmark::elapsed_time()

elapsed_time([$point1 = ''[, $point2 = ''[, $decimals = 4]]])

Calculates and returns the time difference between two marked points.

If the first parameter is empty this function instead returns the {elapsed_time} pseudo-variable. This permits the full system execution time to be shown in a template. The output class will swap the real value for this variable.
