That said...

SUSv4 mandates that <sched.h> provides struct timespec as in <time.h>,
and permits (but does not require) <sched.h> to include <time.h> as a
means of meeting that mandate.  However, it is also possible for both
<time.h> and <sched.h> to include yet another (implementation-specific)
header (in this cased, <sys/sched.h>) to provide a consistent definition
of struct timespec, without <sched.h> having to pull in anything from
<time.h>.
