Subject: quick question regarding system time
Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2000 17:53:09 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3A1070D5.FA0462EC@nortelnetworks.com> (raw)

I'm working on some timer routines to allow arbitrary numbers of timers
all based off the single real timer provided by "setitimer".  However, I
haven't been able to figure out from the documentation what happens to
the countdown timer used by setitimer when the system clock is changed
(by root, for instance).  If I move the system clock forward or backward
a few seconds, is the itimer affected by this at all (I hope not) or can
I simply ignore it (I hope so).

Thanks,

Chris
