Note that on Linux you can read the current time with a much higher resolution than the actual tickrate. I.e. the current time is not simply a counter value that increments at each timer tick. Even in a system with 10ms ticks you can read the current time to the microsecond or better. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
