[RFC PATCH manpages] clock_getres.2: document CLOCK_MONOTONIC suspend behavior

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
Date: 2018-04-26 19:59:13
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Considering that user-space expects CLOCK_MONOTONIC not to account time
during which system is suspended, explicitly document this behavior as
ABI.
