But in RRs I've no special knowledge about how do I know that every 
0xc0 starts a domain name and isn't just some bits in a new, exotic

gettimeofday() and settimeofday() were included in SVr4 due to their
common use in BSD based applications.  They were to be included exactly
as in BSD, with two parameters.  However, AT&T/USL noted that the second

for compatibility, incompatible. -- Solaris <sys/time.h>
