[coyotos-dev] coyotos.sleep, sleepTill, the epoch

[Jonathan S. Shapiro]

Neither.

The "epoch" is not defined in the spec, but it is similar to the UNIX
epoch. Time starts at midnight on Jan 1 1970. See the wikipedia article:

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

for a discussion of UNIX time.

The value intended at that interface is comparable to a UNIX timeval or
timespec (we need to pick a position on that).
