| |
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
