| Defined in header <time.h> | ||

| struct timespec; | (since C11) | 
Structure holding an interval broken down into seconds and nanoseconds.
| time_ttv_sec | whole seconds (valid values are >= 0) | 
| /* see below */tv_nsec | nanoseconds (valid values are [0, 999999999]) | 
| The type of  | (until C23) | 
| The type of  | (since C23) | 
The declaration order of tv_sec and tv_nsec is unspecified. Implementation may add other members to struct timespec.
The type of tv_nsec is long long on some platforms, which is conforming only since C23.

int main(void)
{
    struct timespec ts;
    timespec_get(&ts, TIME_UTC);
    char buff[100];
    strftime(buff, sizeof buff, "%D %T", gmtime(&ts.tv_sec));
    printf("Current time: %s.%09ld UTC\n", buff, ts.tv_nsec);
    printf("Raw timespec.time_t: %jd\n", (intmax_t)ts.tv_sec);
    printf("Raw timespec.tv_nsec: %09ld\n", ts.tv_nsec);
}Possible output:
Current time: 11/24/21 03:10:50.408191283 UTC Raw timespec.time_t: 1637723450 Raw timespec.tv_nsec: 408191283
