Dynamic clockids are a Linux specific extension. This should be explained with a paragraph or two on the gettime man page, along with an example using the macros. #define CLOCKFD 3 #define FD_TO_CLOCKID(fd) ((~(clockid_t) (fd) << 3) | CLOCKFD) #define CLOCKID_TO_FD(clk) ((unsigned int) ~((clk) >> 3)) Then, the adjtimex page can say, see gettime. Let me try to come up with a text over the (USA) holiday weekend.
