7.27.1p4:

The range and precision of times representable in clock_t and time_t are
implementation-defined.  The timespec structure shall contain at least
the following members, in any order.  The semantics of the members and
their normal ranges are expressed in the comments.

	time_t tv_sec;	// whole seconds -- >= 0
	long tv_nsec;	// nanoseconds -- [0, 999999999]
