[PATCH 1/2 v3] adjtimex.2: add fields in struct timex description

[Laurent Georget]

Hello,

this is a refactored series of patches for adjtimex(2) man page. Please
ignore all previous patches I sent for adjtimex.2.

The first patch updates the man page with the new fields added in struct
timex since last edition of the man page.

Thank you for your time. These are my first patches so you may have to
bear with me being a little inexpert and clumsy for some time. I
apologize for that.

Laurent

Hello Laurent,

Sorry for the delayed follow up...

Thanks for the clear note about disregarding previous versions. That
makes things much simpler for me.

I've applied the patch. Note one point/question below.

Presumably, '(s)' means seconds, right? 

I changed this to to '(sec)' for consistency with the other 
comments above.

Thanks,
