Re: [PATCH 1/1] clock_getres.2: dynamic POSIX clock devices can return other errors

Hello Eric,

(IEEE 1588 PTP is the canonical user of these dynamic clock devices)

Would you want to refer to any of these from the man page?

See above. I would be happy to add a 2 or 3 sentence note to the page
that briefly describes the concept of a POSIX clock. Would you be able
to come up with something?

I'll try, but I've never used them, so I'm not convinced I can capture
the concept clearly.

Cough! I found an old patch in my inbox...

(plus some edits in some subsequent commits)

Thanks,

Michael
