NAME
     itimerfix -- check that a timeval value is valid, and correct

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/time.h>

     int
     itimerfix(struct timeval *tv);

DESCRIPTION
     The itimerfix function checks that the value in tv is valid (0 <= tv->tv_sec &&  0 <= tv->tv_usec < 1000000), and that the total time repre-
     sented is at least one tick, or zero.

     If the total represented time is nonzero and smaller than tick, it is adjusted to exactly one tick.

RETURN VALUES
     itimerfix returns 0 on success or EINVAL if tv is invalid.
