SYNOPSIS

     int
     timespec_get(struct timespec *ts, int base);

DESCRIPTION
     The timespec_get function sets the	interval pointed to by ts to hold the
     current calendar time based on the	specified time base in base.

     pressed in	seconds	and nanoseconds	since midnight (0 hour), January 1,
     1970.  In FreeBSD,	this corresponds to CLOCK_REALTIME.

     otherwise 0 on failure.

SEE ALSO

STANDARDS
     The timespec_get function with a base of TIME_UTC conforms	to ISO/IEC
     9899:2011 ("ISO C11").
