It says that gettime() can be used, but > all I could find in the kernel sources was clock_gettime(); this > is one that seems similar and has no manpage too :-/ I think the right thing to do would be to update the man page not to talk about functions that don't exist rather than removing gettime(9) from SEE ALSO. It is further pointless because the rest of the man page references gettime(9), so you wouldn't have fixed anything--there would still be references to man pages that don't exist.
