.Pp
The
.Fn binuptime ,
.Fn microuptime ,
+.Fn nanouptime ,
and
-.Fn nanouptime
+.Fn sbinuptime
functions
always query the timecounter to return the current time as precisely as
possible.
Whereas
.Fn getbinuptime ,
.Fn getmicrouptime ,
+.Fn getnanouptime ,
and
-.Fn getnanouptime
+.Fn getsbinuptime
functions are abstractions which return a less precise, but
faster to obtain, time.
.Pp
The intent of the
.Fn getbinuptime ,
.Fn getmicrouptime ,
+.Fn getnanouptime ,
and
-.Fn getnanouptime
+.Fn getsbinuptime
functions is to enforce the user's preference for timer accuracy versus
execution time.
