Sure, but that has little to do with what POSIX calls its 'monotonic clock'. On 
some systems, the POSIX 'real time' clock *is* monotonic (because the system 
has no facilities for changing the time in a non-monotonic way). You need to 
employ system-specific knowledge to know that's the case, but on those systems, 
using the real-time clock is appropriate (and sometimes the only thing 
possible).
