What I will do is explain in the documentation why the units are not

Can we remove the division in *nix also ? If ms resolution is not
supported, then why divide the us/ns ? It serves no purpose, if rollover
and unit size are not guaranteed.
I think it should be removed.
If you look at clock_time documentation no guarantees about resolution are
given.
there is a call to get resolution, so in the best case you'd need to use
that to get a 'correct' time. It would mean 2 system calls every time, since
there
is also no guarantee that the call to get the resolution will give the same
result every time.
