- I hate to point this out but the 4-entry utimbuf is a Motorola
- invention. The microseconds fields were added as part of the 88open
- BCS [over the objections of some members of the committee] as an
- "extension".
-
- It was this extension that got POSIX.1a to declare that the struct
- utimbuf must contain ONLY the members indicated. The 88open ABI goes
- back to the SVID compatible, POSIX conforming 2 member structure.
