A recent error report has brought up a question in my mind about
the CIOGETEV and TIOCGPPSEV ioctls. I believe these were/are used
by SunOS/Solaris.
Both of these return a struct ppsclockev, which contains a time
and an integer counter.
My question is: is the time ALWAYS a timeval or is it sometimes
a timespec on some systems?
My GUESS would be that they always return a timeval, but this is not
the way the code is setup in the ONCORE driver at the moment.
I would appreciate a response from anyone using these ioctl's
or in fact, anyone having any info on them. Ive scanned the
Solaris machines I have access to, and dont find them mentioned.
