The info you get is a delta. The subtract is done using NTP epochs. There is never an explicit "convert this l_fp in NTP epoch to time_t using POSIX epoch" so no need for an explicit pivot. There is an implicit assumption that the two (l_fp) times that you subtract are in the same epoch. The hard part is initialization. We require that the start-time be close-enough which means that there isn't an overflow during the subtract. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@ntpsec.org http://lists.ntpsec.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
