VFS_TIMESTAMP(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual VFS_TIMESTAMP(9)NAME
vfs_timestamp -- generate current timestamp
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/vnode.h>
void
vfs_timestamp(struct timespec *tsp);
DESCRIPTION
The vfs_timestamp() function fills in tsp with the current time.
The precision is based on the value of the vfs.timestamp_precision sysctl variable:
0 seconds only; nanoseconds are zeroed.
1 seconds and nanoseconds, accurate within 1/HZ.
2 seconds and nanoseconds, truncated to microseconds.
>=3 seconds and nanoseconds, maximum precision.

pthread_delay_np(3) Library Functions Manual pthread_delay_np(3)NAME
pthread_delay_np - Delays a thread's execution.
LIBRARY
DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_delay_np(
const struct timespec *interval);
STANDARDS
None
PARAMETERS
Number of seconds and nanoseconds to delay execution. The value specified for each must be greater than or equal to zero.
DESCRIPTION
This routine causes a thread to delay execution for a specific interval of time. This interval ends at the current time plus the specified
interval. The routine will not return before the end of the interval is reached, but may return an arbitrary amount of time after the end
of the interval is reached. This can be due to system load, thread priorities, and system timer granularity.
Specifying an interval of zero (0) seconds and zero (0) nanoseconds is allowed and can be used to force the thread to give up the processor
or to deliver a pending cancelation request.
The timespec structure contains the following two fields: tv_sec is an integral number of seconds. tv_nsec is an integral number of
nanoseconds.
RETURN VALUES
If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value indicating the type of error. Possible return values are as follows:
Successful completion. The value specified by interval is invalid.
ERRORS
None
