msr_starttime  returns the start time of the record as a high precision epoch time (see ms_time(3)).  Any
       time correction given in the fixed section data header is applied if it has not already been applied.  If
       Blockette 1001 is included and parsed the microseconds indicated (field 4) are also applied.

       NOTE: The record start time for  a  MSRecord  structure  is  available  directly  at  MSRecord.starttime.
       Libmseed  based  programs  should use that start time whenever possible (msr_unpack uses msr_starttime to
       set MSRecord.starttime).

       msr_starttime_uc is a version of msr_starttime that applies no time corrections, just a basic  conversion
       of the start time values in the fixed section data header.

       msr_endtime  returns  the  time  of  the  last  sample in the record as a high precision epoch time (seed
       ms_time(3)).  This is *not* the time "covered" by the last sample, but  the  actual  sample  time.   This
       function  calculates  the  record  start  time  with  msr_starttime and then adds the time covered by the
       samples in the record which is calculated from the number of samples and sample rate.

       msr_endtime will adjust the end time appropriately if the record is known  to  contain  a  positive  leap
       second.   If  the  ms_readleapseconds  or  ms_readleapsecondfile routines have been called to read a leap
       second file into an internal list, it will be checked to know when leap seconds occur.  If a leap  second
       list is not available the fixed section data header is checked for a positive leap second indicator.

       msr_starttime - Start and end time determination for MSRecord structures

msr_starttime,  msr_starttime_uc  and  msr_endtime  return  a  high  precision  epoch time on success and
       HPTERROR on error.
