> 
> In the example:
> * Properly initialize the socket id field.
> * Remove comments redundant and/or not consistent with the code. 180
>   seconds is not 2 minutes.
> * Remove redundant pointer initialization.
> * Access max_tmo_ns with the appropriate name.
> 
> In both the example and in one instance in the body text, the flags field of
> the conf struct was erroneously referred to as timer_adapter_flags.
> 
> v2: max_tmo_nsec -> max_tmo_ns fix.

Thanks for the corrections.  It looks like there's one more instance of the incorrect "max_tmo_nsec" string above.  With that last update:
