I don't mean to be obnoxious, but:
man 8 clock
"man -k clock" would help you find it.
How would you know about "man -k"? "man man", of course. ;-) You can
also learn about "man -a" there.
Well, the man page for clock(8) may be missing on your system, but
who's to blame if that is the case?
Hope it helps,
