It is further pointless because the rest of the man page references gettime(9), so you wouldn't have fixed anything--there would still be references to man pages that don't exist. Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-doc->trhodes Over to me. I'll try to Xref the correct manual page and clean this page up a tad. Looks like this PR can be closed as src/share/man/man9/time.9 has been changed in revision 1.13 in such a way that what was proposed in this PR was fixed. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=docs/30442 State Changed From-To: open->closed It seems that this has already been committed. |
The time(9) manpage references a non existent gettime(9) manpage. Things have also changed a bit with time keeping, and this is probably a bit out of date. There is no gettime() function now. I could only find clock_gettime() in sys/kern/kern_time.c that seems similar to what time(9) describes that gettime() would do. How-To-Repeat: Err, read the manpage? It says that gettime() can be used, but all I could find in the kernel sources was clock_gettime(); this is one that seems similar and has no manpage too :-/
