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);
 Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
     All functions shown above:
         Since glibc 2.19:
             _DEFAULT_SOURCE
         Glibc 2.19 and earlier:
             _BSD_SOURCE

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.  Present on most BSD derivatives.
