Time-Provider Interface
/* TP timestamp message. The actual time-provider
* synchronization data. The status is the result of the
* operation (success or failure). The timeStampCount
* parameter returns the number of timestamps being returned
* in this message. The timeStampList is the set of
* timestamps being returned from the TP.
*/

/* The Time-Provider Interface structures are described here.
