@ page 358 line 12708 section <sys/stat.h> comment {ud-stat-timespec}

Problem:

Edition of Specification (Year): 2003

Defect code :  2. Omission

Many systems today report acc/modification/status times in the stat information 
with more than second resolution.  One frequently used method is to report 
fractions of a second in nanoseconds.  I.e., the time information is 
effectively similar to struct timespec.  In fact, some systems (Linux, Solaris) 
could actually use struct timespec.  This would probably be the preferred 
method.

But struct timespec cannot be used in <sys/stat.h> since timespec violates the 
namespace rules for this header.

Action:

Add before "Times shall be given..." on line 12708:

The timespec structure may be defined as described in <sys/types.h>.
