Hi,

I'm trying to understand how interval timers work in OpenBSD,
but I'm a little stuck on this line from the getitimer / setitimer man page:

"Time values smaller than the resolution of the system clock
are rounded up to this resolution (typically 10 milliseconds)."

Does this mean that 10 milliseconds is the shortest interval possible
with a system interval timer?

If so, are there other userland options for more precise timers?

I'm mainly interested in AMD64.

Thanks in advance,

Paul
