60 The structure is defined in
65 long tv_sec; /* seconds since Jan. 1, 1970 */
66 long tv_usec; /* and microseconds */
71 adds the time information stored in
75 and stores the resulting
79 The results are simplified such that the value of
81 is always less than 1,000,000 (1 second).
84 subtracts the time information stored in
88 and stores the resulting
96 to midnight (0 hour) January 1st, 1970 (the Epoch).
101 is set to any time value other than the Epoch.
108 using the comparison operator given in
110 and returns the result of that comparison.
