       vfs_timestamp — generate current timestamp

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/param.h>
       #include <sys/vnode.h>

       void
       vfs_timestamp(struct timespec *tsp);

DESCRIPTION

       The vfs_timestamp() function fills in tsp with the current time.

       The precision is based on the value of the vfs.timestamp_precision sysctl variable:

       0   seconds only; nanoseconds are zeroed.
       1   seconds and nanoseconds, accurate within 1/HZ.
       2   seconds and nanoseconds, truncated to microseconds.
       ≥3  seconds and nanoseconds, maximum precision.
