AFAIK, changing the name has been part of the plan all along. I was under the impression that Brian was just doing the preliminary legwork. That said, apr_time_t (whatever it ends up being called) being binary usecs means that apr_interval_time_t (whatever it ends up being called) *must* also be binary usecs. apr_interval_time_t is defined as "the difference between two apr_time_t's". If somebody wants to pass a value to a syscall, that's not the purpose of apr_interval_time_t. Besides, I'd think those values would often be in seconds and not microseconds anyway, no? --Cliff
