+ * nm_utils_monotonic_timestamp_as_boottime:
+ * @timestamp: the monotonic-timestamp that should be converted into CLOCK_BOOTTIME.
+ * @timestamp_ns_per_tick: How many nano seconds make one unit of @timestamp? E.g. if
+ * @timestamp is in unit seconds, pass %NM_UTILS_NS_PER_SECOND; @timestamp in nano
+ * seconds, pass 1; @timestamp in milli seconds, pass %NM_UTILS_NS_PER_SECOND/1000; etc.
+ *
+ * Returns: the monotonic-timestamp as CLOCK_BOOTTIME, as returned by clock_gettime().
+ * The unit is the same as the passed in @timestamp basd on @timestamp_ns_per_tick.
+ * E.g. if you passed @timestamp in as seconds, it will return boottime in seconds.
+ * If @timestamp is a non-positive, it returns -1. Note that a (valid) monotonic-timestamp
+ * is always positive.
+ *
+ * On older kernels that don't support CLOCK_BOOTTIME, the returned time is instead CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
