#### struct timeval

The buffer of type `struct timeval` used by the File-I/O protocol is defined as follows:

    struct timeval {
        time_t tv_sec;  /* second */
        long   tv_usec; /* microsecond */
    };

The integral datatypes conform to the definitions given in the appropriate section (see Integral Datatypes, for details) so this structure is of size 8 bytes.
