>Description:

	In sys/time.h, struct timespec is defined as:

	/*
	 * Structure defined by POSIX.4 to be like a timeval.
	 */
	struct timespec {
		time_t  ts_sec;         /* seconds */
		long    ts_nsec;        /* and nanoseconds */
	};

	
	The correct names of the fields are tv_sec and tv_nsec.

        (There was traffic about this problem on freebsd-bugs, but no
	 bug report.)


>How-To-Repeat:

	N/A

>Fix:
	
	Define the structure as:

	/*
	 * Structure defined by POSIX.4 to be like a timeval.
	 */
	struct timespec {
		time_t  tv_sec;         /* seconds */
		long    tv_nsec;        /* and nanoseconds */
	};

        Don't forget the TIMEVAL_TO_TIMESPEC and TIMESPEC_TO_TIMEVAL macros.
