NAME
timeradd, timersub, timercmp, timerclear, timerisset - timeval operations
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/time.h>
void timeradd(struct timeval *a, struct timeval *b,
struct timeval *res);
void timersub(struct timeval *a, struct timeval *b,
struct timeval *res);
void timerclear(struct timeval *tvp);
int timerisset(struct timeval *tvp);
int timercmp(struct timeval *a, struct timeval *b, CMP);

DESCRIPTION
The macros are provided to operate on timeval structures, defined in
<sys/time.h> as:
struct timeval {
time_t tv_sec; /* seconds */
suseconds_t tv_usec; /* microseconds */
};
timeradd() adds the time values in a and b, and places the sum in the
timeval pointed to by res. The result is normalized such that
res->tv_usec has a value in the range 0 to 999,999.
timersub() subtracts the time value in b from the time value in a, and
places the result in the timeval pointed to by res. The result is
normalized such that res->tv_usec has a value in the range 0 to
999,999.
timerclear() zeros out the timeval structure pointed to by tvp, so that
it represents the Epoch: 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC).
timerisset() returns true (nonzero) if either field of the timeval
structure pointed to by tvp contains a nonzero value.
timercmp() compares the timer values in a and b using the comparison
operator CMP, and returns true (nonzero) or false (0) depending on the
result of the comparison. Some systems (but not Linux/glibc), have a
broken timercmp() implementation, in which CMP of >=, <=, and == do not
work; portable applications can instead use
!timercmp(..., <)
!timercmp(..., >)
!timercmp(..., !=)
RETURN VALUE
timerisset() and timercmp() return true (nonzero) or false (0).
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
