This structure is not part of POSIX. According to POSIX, gettimeofday()
has the following prototype:
int gettimeofday(struct timeval *restrict tp, void *restrict tzp);
Also, POSIX states that gettimeofday() shall return 0 (as long as tzp is
not used). Remove dead error handling code. Also use NULL for a
nul-pointer instead of integer 0.
While there, change all pieces of code that only use tv_sec to use
time(3), as this provides less overhead.
more carefully inspecting the return value from sysctl(3). [1]
- Use calloc instead of malloc+memset of zero.

MFC after: 2 weeks
not very usefully, in all other displays). This was the original point
of the PR.
Move the load average up by 2 so that it starts in row 0 for all windows
(2 lines above it were wasted for all other windows except vmstat).
Move everything below it up by 2 or 3 (3 for icmp and icmp6 which had
an extra blank line due from not compensating for the foot-shooting in
note (3); only ip and ip6 compensated). Reduce the magic numbers related
to this.
Notes by the submitter:
%%%
1. All the subwin() calls are identical using #define MAINWIN_ROW 3
(systat.h).
2. The load average is at the top of the window.
3. Each display starts on the fourth line. I made changes to those
displays that shifted the start line (i.e., icmp). This entailed a
lot of changes within the comments at the top of those displays.
4. For ip6, I shifted the "Input next-header histogram" column down one
row to separate it from "IPv6 Output". I raised "bad scope packets"
and "address selection failed" up one row to stay with "IPv6 Input"
(valid?). They were down one row to probably line up at the bottom,
but I think they should stick with their fellow items in a column.
5. I condensed ifstat a bit. It had a lot of empty rows.

ifstat Display the network traffic going through active interfaces
on the system. Idle interfaces will not be displayed until
they receive some traffic.
For each interface being displayed, the current, peak and
total statistics are displayed for incoming and outgoing
traffic. By default, the ifstat display will automatically
scale the units being used so that they are in a human-read-
able format. The scaling units used for the current and peak
traffic columns can be altered by the scale command.
