.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
These macros are provided for manipulating
|
||
|
|
.Fa timeval
|
||
|
|
structures for use with the
|
||
|
|
.Fn gettimeofday
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Fn settimeofday
|
||
|
|
calls.
|
||
|
|
The structures pointed to by
|
||
|
|
.Fa tvp ,
|
||
|
|
.Fa uvp ,
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Fa vvp
|
||
|
|
are defined in
|
||
|
|
.Ao Pa sys/time.h Ac
|
||
|
|
as:
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
||
|
|
struct timeval {
|
||
|
|
long tv_sec; /* seconds since Jan. 1, 1970 */
|
||
|
|
long tv_usec; /* and microseconds */
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
.Ed
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Fn timeradd
|
||
|
|
adds the time information stored in
|
||
|
|
.Fa uvp
|
||
|
|
to
|
||
|
|
.Fa tvp
|
||
|
|
and stores the resulting
|
||
|
|
.Fa timeval
|
||
|
|
in
|
||
|
|
.Fa vvp .
|
||
|
|
The results are simplified such that the value of
|
||
|
|
.Fa vvp->tv_usec
|
||
|
|
is always less than 1,000,000 (1 second).
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Fn timersub
|
||
|
|
subtracts the time information stored in
|
||
|
|
.Fa uvp
|
||
|
|
from
|
||
|
|
.Fa tvp
|
||
|
|
and stores the resulting
|
||
|
|
.Fa timeval
|
||
|
|
in
|
||
|
|
.Fa vvp .
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Fn timerclear
|
||
|
|
initializes
|
||
|
|
.Fa tvp
|
||
|
|
to midnight (0 hour) January 1st, 1970 (the Epoch).
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Fn timerisset
|
||
|
|
returns true if
|
||
|
|
.Fa tvp
|
||
|
|
is set to any time value other than the Epoch.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Fn timercmp
|
||
|
|
compares
|
||
|
|
.Fa tvp
|
||
|
|
to
|
||
|
|
.Fa uvp
|
||
|
|
using the comparison operator given in
|
||
|
|
.Fa cmp
|
||
|
|
and returns the result of that comparison.
