<sys/time.h>(P)            POSIX Programmer's Manual           <sys/time.h>(P)



NAME
       sys/time.h - time types

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/time.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The  <sys/time.h>  header  shall  define  the  timeval  structure  that
       includes at least the following members:


              time_t         tv_sec      Seconds.
              suseconds_t    tv_usec     Microseconds.

       The <sys/time.h> header  shall  define  the  itimerval  structure  that
       includes at least the following members:


              struct timeval it_interval Timer interval.
              struct timeval it_value    Current value.

       The  time_t  and  suseconds_t  types  shall  be defined as described in
       <sys/types.h> .

       The fd_set type shall be defined as described in <sys/select.h> .

       The <sys/time.h> header shall define the following values for the which
       argument of getitimer() and setitimer():

       ITIMER_REAL
              Decrements in real time.

       ITIMER_VIRTUAL
              Decrements in process virtual time.

       ITIMER_PROF
              Decrements  both  in process virtual time and when the system is
              running on behalf of the process.


       The following  shall  be  defined  as  described  in  <sys/select.h>  :
       FD_CLR() FD_ISSET() FD_SET() FD_ZERO() FD_SETSIZE

       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
       macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.


              int   getitimer(int, struct itimerval *);
              int   gettimeofday(struct timeval *restrict, void *restrict);
              int   select(int, fd_set *restrict, fd_set *restrict, fd_set *restrict,
                        struct timeval *restrict);
              int   setitimer(int, const struct itimerval *restrict,
                        struct itimerval *restrict);
              int   utimes(const char *, const struct timeval [2]); (LEGACY )

       Inclusion of the <sys/time.h> header may make visible all symbols  from
       the <sys/select.h> header.

       The following sections are informative.
