__phy_hwtstamp_get(9)

✨ __phy_hwtstamp_get 💅✨

okay bestie, so this is the kernel API manual page for __phy_hwtstamp_get (section 9 of the manual, iykyk) — and it is literally the function you call when you want to know what hardware timestamping setup your PHY is currently rocking. no cap. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

__phy_hwtstamp_get — Get hardware timestamping configuration from PHY 💖

like... it gets the hwtstamp config. from the PHY. that's the whole gig. iconic behavior fr fr.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int __phy_hwtstamp_get (struct phy_device *phydev , struct
kernel_hwtstamp_config *config );

she takes two pointers and returns an int, periodt. 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• phydev — the PHY device structure. yes, the actual PHY. the physical-layer bestie in question. 💅
• config — structure holding the timestamping configuration. this is where the tea gets stored. 🍓

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Query the PHY device for its current hardware timestamping configuration. 🕵️‍♀️✨

that's it, that's the vibe — you ask the PHY "hey bestie what's your hwtstamp situation rn" and it tells you, via config. very demure, very read-only. 🙈
