TIMERADD(3)                Linux Programmer's Manual               TIMERADD(3)

NAME
       timeradd,  timersub,  timercmp, timerclear, timerisset - timeval opera-
       tions
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 nor-
       malized 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.
CONFORMING TO
       Not in POSIX.1-2001.  Present on most BSD derivatives.
