ath5k_hw_htoclock(9)

✨ ath5k_hw_htoclock — translate usec to hw clock units ✨

okay so this little cutie lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and honestly? it's giving "small function, big main character energy" 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

unsigned int ath5k_hw_htoclock (struct ath5k_hw *ah , unsigned int usec );

like, that's the whole vibe. two args, one unsigned int coming back out. slay ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ah — the struct ath5k_hw. yes bestie, that exact struct, that's the one 🫶
• usec — your value, but in microseconds. so tiny. so precious 🥺

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so the whole point: it translates usecs into hw clock units, and it does that based on the current hw clock rate. no cap, that's the mechanic. clock rate changes? the math changes with it 🔥

and then it returns the number of clock units. that's it. that's the function. iconic behavior, honestly 💀

no drama warnings on this one, it's just pure conversion math — but fr fr, keep your eyes on the current hw clock rate because that's what the whole result hangs on 💅
