<p><a name="index-struct-timeval_002c-in-file_002di_002fo-protocol-2523"></a>
The buffer of type <code>struct timeval</code> used by the File-I/O protocol
is defined as follows:

<pre class="smallexample">     struct timeval {
         time_t tv_sec;  /* second */
         long   tv_usec; /* microsecond */
     };
</pre>
   <p>The integral datatypes conform to the definitions given in the
appropriate section (see <a href="Integral-Datatypes.html#Integral-Datatypes">Integral Datatypes</a>, for details) so this
structure is of size 8 bytes.
