This text is a rather obtuse way of saying that gettimeofday() first appeared on BSD, and provided a superset of the functionality of time(2). Nowadays, I don't think that text is very relevant. I've simply removed the sentence. Change will be in 2.44. Cheers, Michael -- Michael Kerrisk maintainer of Linux man pages Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 Want to help with man page maintenance?
