A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating Systems,
Version 1.0
Author(s) : J. Mogul, D. Mills, J. Brittenson, J. Stone, P. Kamp,
U. Windl
Filename : draft-mogul-pps-api-04.txt
Pages : 30

RFC1589 describes a UNIX kernel implementation model for
high-precision time-keeping. This model is meant for use
in conjunction with the Network Time Protocol (NTP,
RFC1305), or similar time synchronization protocols. One
aspect of this model is an accurate interface to the
high-accuracy, one pulse-per-second (PPS) output typically
available from precise time sources (such as a GPS or GOES
receiver). RFC1589 did not define an API for managing the
PPS facility, leaving implementors without a portable means
for using PPS sources. This document specifies such an
API.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-mogul-pps-api-04.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
