ath5k_hw_clocktoh(9)

💅 ath5k_hw_clocktoh(9) — the Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense

okay bestie, so you've stumbled into ath5k_hw_clocktoh — a literal kernel API manual page (section 9, yes, the kernel one) and honestly? it's giving tiny-but-important. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ath5k_hw_clocktoh — translate hw clock units to usec 🕐➡️⏱️

like the name says: hardware clock units in, microseconds out. slay.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

unsigned int ath5k_hw_clocktoh (struct ath5k_hw *ah , unsigned int clock );

that's the whole vibe. one function, two args, returns an unsigned int. no cap. ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ah — the struct ath5k_hw 💖 like, the hardware struct itself, your main character
• clock — a value in hw clock units ⏳ that's the thing you're converting, bestie

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so what does it actually do? it translates hw clock units into usecs — microseconds, for the uninitiated — based on the current hw clock rate. that's it. that's the whole function. lowkey iconic for how focused it is. 🌈

Returns number of usecs ⏱️✨ (yes, that's the return value, and yes, it's literally the point)

ngl the "based on the current hw clock rate" part is doing a lot of heavy lifting here — the conversion depends on whatever rate is set at the time, so don't go assuming it's some fixed magic number. 🙈
