Description Carlos O'Donell 2015-02-12 20:06:01 UTC 
The manual says tv_sec is of type long, this is wrong, it is of type time_t.

    Document tv_sec is of type time_t:
    
    The tv_sec is of type time_t in both struct timeval and struct timespec.
    This matches the implementation and also the relevant standard (checked
    C11 for timespec and opengroup for timeval).
