According to /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/times.c (and my understanding of the way it uses clock_gettime()), it looks like the documentation matches what the code is intended to do. If there is a problem, it is probably in clock_gettime(). Note that times(2) is a deprecated function, and *either* behaviour is acceptable according to the standards which applied before it was deprecated. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
