+description: |
+ If this configuration option is defined, then POSIX timers may
+ not be created to use the CLOCK_REALTIME. Per POSIX, this is allowed
+ behavior but per the FACE Technical Standard, it is not. Using POSIX
+ timers based on CLOCK_REALTIME (e.g., time of day) is unsafe for
+ real-time safety systems as setting CLOCK_REALTIME will perturb any
+ active timers.
+
+ If this option is not defined, POSIX timers may be created to use the
+ CLOCK_REALTIME in compliance with the POSIX specification.
