I don't think those relate to generations. Generations change on every clock tick; the multiple timehands structs relate to forcibly setting the time, as opposed to the clock moving forward normally. It does appear serve a similar purpose, since forcibly setting the time is even more "violent" (to anything currently reading the clock) than advancing the clock on a clock tick, since that's when other adjustments including possibly switching the clock source will be applied. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
