First someone tries to reply to the original commit (I guess?) by replying with a complete non sequitur to my reply. Now you cite a document that says nothing directly related to the commit at all. The only reference to "negative" in what you cited is part of specifying how to truncate/round fractional values that fall between two representable values given the resolution of the clock you're setting. Later in that document they specifically require EINVAL for negative fractional second values. If they intended to to prohibit negative whole-second values, that would certainly have been the place to mention it, and they don't. -- Ian
