Do you suggest that we edit the man page of adjtimex?

Added information about variables of timeval structure and different units of time used by them
Hope this is the required patch.
Matwey, thanks for the report. Tina, thanks for the patch. The bigger problem is that the adjtimex(2) is hugely out of date, and in any case very thin on the details. The nanosecond aspect is rather more complex than is captured in the patch, as far as I can see. I will work on some updates to the page. Some months ago, I made same changes to the man page which I think should cover the concerns in this report. So, closing now. |
