        Is end_time.tv_sec - init_time.tv_sec == 0 under all
        circumstances?


    My idea was to check for a 1ns delay with a reasonable amount of
    overhead, hence I checked for  end_time.tv_sec - init_time.tv_sec
    == 0.
    Exists there a value of init_time for which end_time.tv_sec !=
    init_time.tv_sec and still 1ns elapsed?


Sorry, maybe I am confused in my concept, kidly help me out. I want to produce a 1ns delay, so I make a call to clock_nanosleep with flag value as 0 (to sleep for specified time) and the delay being 1ns. I recorded the time before the sleep call and after the sleep call. Now, I want to check if the delay produced was actually 1ns with a reasonable overhead, my assumption for an unreasonable overhead was that if I specify a delay of 1ns
Up to here everything is fine.
and I get a delay in seconds, it would be an error.
Think about this once more.
