Sorry; I'll be more specific. I'm porting a deadline-scheduler from Linux o=
ver=20
to FreeBSD that determines deadines by using jiffies. For example, process=
=20
1's deadline is when jiffies=3D10 and so on. I just discovered the global=20
variable 'ticks' which seems to suit my needs, is this correct?
