Package: manpages
Version: 3.22-1
Severity: wishlist

Developers of real-time programs (programs using real-time scheduling
and/or expecting low latency) sometimes see CLOCK_REALTIME and think
they want to use that, when they almost certainly don't.  Please
consider adding some clarification that the "real-time" of
CLOCK_REALTIME refers to wall-clock time (as opposed to CPU or process
time, for instance) and that developers of real-time applications want
to use CLOCK_MONOTONIC.

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
