💖 PPS-TOOLS 💖

okay bestie, welcome to PPS-TOOLS(8) — it's a System Manager's Manual page and it's giving "the docs are short but the vibes are immaculate." sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, we're gonna talk about LinuxPPS for like two minutes and then you'll be obsessed.

✨ NAME ✨

pps-tools — LinuxPPS support tools and headers 🫶

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

The pps-tools package includes the necessary headers for using the LinuxPPS PPSAPI kernel interface in user-space applications, plus several support tools. yes, headers AND tools, it's a whole package deal, no cap 💅

Here's the squad:

• ppstest — PPSAPI interface tester 🧪
• ppswatch — continuously print PPS timestamps ⏱️ like it literally never stops, main character energy
• ppsctl — PPS device manager 👑
• ppsfind — find pps device by name 🔍

Most tools display a short help message if you run them with --help as option. So like, that's your bestie right there. 💖

😭 Unfortunately they do not come with any further documentation. that's it. that's the docs. the --help IS the documentation. we're thriving anyway.

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

The Wiki on http://linuxpps.org provides some documentation of the LinuxPPS PPSAPI interface. so if you want the deep lore, that's where it lives, iykyk 🦋
