A subsection is dedicated to each of this manager's directives
and describes the calling sequence, related constants, usage,
and status codes.

@subsection clock_gettime

@subheading CALLING SEQUENCE:

@example
#include <time.h>

int clock_gettime(
  clockid_t        clock_id,
  struct timespec *tp
);
@end example

@subheading STATUS CODES:

On error, this routine returns -1 and sets errno to one of the following:

@table @b
@item EINVAL
The tp pointer parameter is invalid. 

@item EINVAL
The clock_id specified is invalid. 
@end table

  const struct timespec *tp
);
@end example
 
@subheading STATUS CODES:
 
On error, this routine returns -1 and sets errno to one of the following:

@table @b
@item EINVAL
The tp pointer parameter is invalid. 

@item EINVAL
The clock_id specified is invalid.

@item EINVAL
The contents of the tp structure are invalid.

@end example
 
@subheading STATUS CODES:
 
On error, this routine returns -1 and sets errno to one of the following:

@table @b
@item EINVAL
The res pointer parameter is invalid. 

@item EINVAL
The clock_id specified is invalid.
