boot-time: comment that it's for container not host Comment that in Docker etc., get_boot_time returns the boot time of the container, not of its host. Also, give an example file instead of saying just “FILE”.

/* Store the approximate time when the machine last booted in *P_BOOT_TIME,
and return 0. If it cannot be determined, return -1.
If the machine is a container inside another host machine,
return the boot time of the container, not the host.
The difference can matter in GNU/Linux, where times in /proc/stat
might be relative to boot time of the host, not the container.
This function is not multithread-safe, since on many platforms it
invokes the functions setutxent, getutxent, endutxent.
These functions may lock a file like /var/log/wtmp (so that we
don't read garbage when a concurrent process writes to that file),
but their drawback is that they have a common global state. */
