+ If the

+ or
+ .Dv SO_BINTIME
+ option is enabled on a
+ .Dv SOCK_DGRAM
+ socket, the
+ .Xr recvmsg 2
+ call will return a timestamp corresponding to when the data-
+ gram was received. The msg_control field in the msghdr structure points
+ to a buffer that contains a cmsghdr structure followed by a struct
+ timeval for SO_TIMESTAMP and struct bintime for SO_BINTIME. The
+ cmsghdr fields have the following values for TIMESTAMP:
+ .Bd -literal
+ cmsg_len = sizeof(struct timeval)
+ cmsg_level = SOL_SOCKET
+ cmsg_type = SCM_TIMESTAMP
+ .Ed
