(In reply to Dan Anderson from comment #3)

Thanks for your analysis. For now I can live with nanoseconds instead
milliseconds, and do the conversion ns->ms in a post step.

The format of %N is meant to be compatible with that of GNU date.
--------------------------------------------------

so the open issue is that the FreeBSD date don't support %3N as GNU date.

gdate '+%s.%3N'
1762786801.300

date '+%s.%3N'
1762786810.3N
