.TH LIBSIMPLE_DIFFTIMESPEC 3 libsimple
.SH NAME
libsimple_difftimespec, libsimple_difftimeval \- calculate the difference of two durations

.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <libsimple.h>

int libsimple_difftimespec(struct timespec *\fIdiff\fP, const struct timespec *\fIminuend\fP, const struct timespec *\fIsubtrahend\fP);
int libsimple_difftimeval(struct timeval *\fIdiff\fP, const struct timeval *\fIminuend\fP, const struct timeval *\fIsubtrahend\fP);

.IR \-lsimple .

.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_difftimespec ()
and
.BR libsimple_difftimeval ()
functions calculates the diffence of
.I minuend
and
.I subtrahend
.RI ( minuend
is subtracted by
.IR subtrahend )
and stores the result in
.IR diff .
.PP
These functions assume that
.I minuend->tv_nsec
and
.I subtrahend->tv_nsec
are in thier valid range ([0, 1000000000) for
.BR libsimple_sumtimespec ()
and [0, 1000000) for
.BR libsimple_sumtimeval ())

.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR libsimple_difftimespec ()
and
.BR libsimple_difftimeval ()
functions return 0 on successful completion;
otherwise, \-1 is returned and
.I errno
is set to indicate the error.

.SH ERRORS
The
.BR libsimple_difftimespec ()
and
.BR libsimple_difftimeval ()
functions fail if:
.TP
.B ERANGE
The result is too large or too small to be stored; if the
result is too large
.I *diff
will be set to
.I {.tv_sec=TIME_MAX,.tv_nsec=999999999L}
for the
.BR libsimple_difftimespec ()
function and to
.I {.tv_sec=TIME_MAX,.tv_usec=999999L}
for the
.BR libsimple_difftimeval ()
function, if the result is too small
.I *diff
will be set to
.I {.tv_sec=TIME_MIN,.tv_nsec=0}
for the
.BR libsimple_difftimespec ()
function and to
.I {.tv_sec=TIME_MIN,.tv_usec=0}
for the
.BR libsimple_difftimeval ()
function.
