I have been forwarded to this list from a docs bugreport
* http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=122359
and I am looking for confirmation of this issue.

Transscript:
> The freebsd manpages for 'clock_t times(struct tms *tp)' say the following:
>
> The times() function returns the value of time in CLK_TCK's of a second since
> 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds, January 1, 1970, Coordinated Universal Time.
> But after letting a sample C program print the returned value, it matches
> the system's uptime (in clock ticks).
>
> I would like to ask the bsd devs to clarify whether this is
> a documentation problem, or an implementation problem.
