✨ NAME ✨

function::HZ — the kernel HZ situation 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

HZ:long()

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• None — literally nothing, bestie. no args, no drama, she takes zero input 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this function hands you back the value of the kernel HZ macro 🫶 and what does that macro mean? it's the rate of increase of the jiffies value — like, how fast jiffies go up, that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

so when you call HZ, you're basically asking the kernel "hey queen, how many jiffies per second are we doing here?" and she tells you ✨

no cap, that's the entire function. iconic behaviour honestly 👑
