Previous: struct stat, Up: Protocol-specific Representation of Datatypes
The buffer of type struct timeval
used by the File-I/O protocol
is defined as follows:
struct timeval { time_t tv_sec; /* second */ long tv_usec; /* microsecond */ };
The integral datatypes conform to the definitions given in the appropriate section (see Integral Datatypes, for details) so this structure is of size 8 bytes.
