+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The macros are provided to operate on
+.I timeval
+structures, defined in
+.I <sys/time.h>
+as:
+.P
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct timeval {
+ time_t tv_sec; /* seconds */
+ suseconds_t tv_usec; /* microseconds */
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.P
+.BR timeradd ()
+adds the time values in
+.I a
+and
+.IR b ,
+and places the sum in the
+.I timeval
+pointed to by
+.IR res .
+The result is normalized such that
+.I res\->tv_usec
+has a value in the range 0 to 999,999.
+.P
+.BR timersub ()
+subtracts the time value in
+.I b
+from the time value in
+.IR a ,
+and places the result in the
+.I timeval
+pointed to by
+.IR res .
+The result is normalized such that
+.I res\->tv_usec
+has a value in the range 0 to 999,999.
+.P
+.BR timerclear ()
+zeros out the
+.I timeval
+structure pointed to by
+.IR tvp ,
+so that it represents the Epoch: 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC).
+.P
+.BR timerisset ()
+returns true (nonzero) if either field of the
+.I timeval
+structure pointed to by
+.I tvp
+contains a nonzero value.
+.P
+.BR timercmp ()
+compares the timer values in
+.I a
+and
+.I b
+using the comparison operator
+.IR CMP ,
+and returns true (nonzero) or false (0) depending on
+the result of the comparison.
+Some systems (but not Linux/glibc),
+have a broken
+.BR timercmp ()
+implementation,
+.\" HP-UX, Tru64, Irix have a definition like:
+.\"#define timercmp(tvp, uvp, cmp) \
+.\" ((tvp)->tv_sec cmp (uvp)->tv_sec || \
+.\" (tvp)->tv_sec == (uvp)->tv_sec && (tvp)->tv_usec cmp (uvp)->tv_usec)
+in which
+.I CMP
+of
+.IR >= ,
+.IR <= ,
+and
+.I ==
+do not work;
+portable applications can instead use
+.P
+.in +4n
+.EX
+!timercmp(..., <)
+!timercmp(..., >)
+!timercmp(..., !=)
+.EE
+.in
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.BR timerisset ()
+and
+.BR timercmp ()
+return true (nonzero) or false (0).
+.SH ERRORS
+No errors are defined.
+.SH STANDARDS
+None.
+.SH HISTORY
