- unsigned integers to store the timestamps. The

monotonic clock begins new with every reboot it only
defines a well-defined point in time when used
together with an identifier identifying the boot, see
for more information. The function will return the
timestamps for the boot identified by the passed boot
ID. Either one of the two timestamp arguments may be
