ITIMERFIX(9)               Kernel Developer's Manual              ITIMERFIX(9)

NAME
     itimerfix - check that a timeval value is valid, and correct

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/time.h>

     int
     itimerfix(struct timeval *tv);

DESCRIPTION
     The itimerfix function checks that the value in tv is valid (0 <=
     tv->tv_sec &&  0 <= tv->tv_usec < 1000000), and that the total time
     represented is at least one tick, or zero.

     If the total represented time is nonzero and smaller than tick, it is
     adjusted to exactly one tick.

RETURN VALUES
     itimerfix returns 0 on success or EINVAL if tv is invalid.
