These macros are provided for manipulating the Fa timeval and Fa timespec structures described in timeval(3bsd).The Fn timeradd and Fn timespecadd macros add the time information stored in Fa a to Fa b , storing the result in Fa res . With Fn timeradd the results are simplified such that the value of Fa res->tv_usec is always less than 1,000,000 (1 second). With Fn timespecadd the Fa res->tv_nsec member of Fa struct timespec is always less than 1,000,000,000.
The Fn timersub and Fn timespecsub macros subtract the time information stored in Fa b from Fa a and store the resulting structure in Fa res .
The Fn timerclear and Fn timespecclear macros initialize the structures to midnight (0 hour) January 1st, 1970 (the Epoch). In other words, they set the members of the structure to zero.
The Fn timerisset and Fn timespecisset macros return true if the input structure is set to any time value other than the Epoch.
The Fn timercmp and Fn timespeccmp macros compare Fa a to Fa b using the comparison operator given in Fa CMP . The result of the comparison is returned.
