In article <xzpwv1hq2ck.fsf@flood.ping.uio.no> you write: >Chapter and verse, please. Not just a repetition of what somebody >else says may or may not be in C90. Cheap shot. See C90 defect report #67, <http://wwwold.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/docs/dr_067.html>. Although neither time_t nor ``arithmetic type'' is not explicitly mentioned in the defect report, the answers to Clive Feather's final two questions apply. time_t is defined by POSIX as representing times in seconds. (See XBD under <sys/types.h>.) Some interfaces are defined to use relative times measured in seconds (or smaller units when `struct timespec' is used); other interfaces are defined to use Seconds Since the Epoch (see XBD under the definition thereof). -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
