What is the equivalent datetime() call to the clock() function?

I have some code from 2010 that uses clock(), which is not recommended in R2022b. clock() returns an array of double. How can I get this result by using datetime()? I don't see any examples that do this. For example,

c = clock

c is [2024 4 5 10 47 21.9]

Note that DATETIME is an object with properties, so (depending on your requirements) accessing its properties is a simple option that does not require calling any other functions:

dt = datetime('now')

dt = datetime
   15-Apr-2024 21:23:12

dt.Year

ans = 2024

dt.Month

ans = 4

dt.Day

ans = 15

dt.Hour

ans = 21

dt.Minute

ans = 23

dt.Second

ans = 12.2519
