DESCRIPTION         top

       pmtimespecNow is a platform-independent method that returns the
       current system time since the Epoch in tp.

       pmtimespecInc adds the time in ap to the time in bp and stores
       the result in ap.  Similarly pmtimespecDec subtracts the time in
       bp from the time in ap and stores the result in ap.

       pmtimespecAdd (and pmtimespecSub) add (and subtract) times and
       return the result as a double value.  The time in the ap argument
       is not changed.

       pmtimespecToReal converts the time in tp to an equivalent double
       value.  pmtimespecFromReal provides the reverse conversion,
       taking the time in secs and returning the equivalent time in tp.

       pmPrintHighResStamp prints the timestamp from tp on the stream f
       in the local time (as returned by pmLocaltime(3)) in the format
       HH:MM:SS.XXXXXXXXX.

       For variants of these interfaces using microsecond precision and
       the timeval structure, refer to pmtimevalNow(3).
