BINTIME_ADD(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

bintime_add — operations on “bintime” 💖

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel Developer's Manual page for BINTIME_ADD(9), and it's literally all about the “bintime” operations. no cap. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <sys/time.h>

vid
bintime_add(struct bintime *bt, const struct bintime *bt2);

void
bintime_addx(struct bintime *bt, uint64_t x);

void
bintime_sub(struct bintime *bt, const struct bintime *bt2);

void
bintime2timespec(const struct bintime *bt, struct timespec *ts);

void
timespec2bintime(const struct timespec *ts, struct bintime *bt);

void
bintime2timeval(const struct bintime *bt, struct timeval *tv);

void
timeval2bintime(const struct timeval *tv, struct bintime *bt);

yup, that's the exact squad right there — keep those declarations exactly as written, fr fr. 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

these functions are lowkey convenience functions, bestie — they're part of the machine-independent timecounter(9) framework, and all of them operate with the bintime structure. iconic. ✨

• bintime_add() — adds the time information stored in bt2 to bt. 💖
• bintime_sub() — conversely, subtracts bt2 from bt. 🔥
• bintime_addx() — stores the fraction of a second x to bt. ⭐
• bintime2timespec() — like, the function name literally bespeaks it: converts the bintime structure to struct timespec. 🦋
• timespec2bintime() — does the opposite. 🎀
• bintime2timeval() — operates with struct timeval instead. 🌸
• timeval2bintime() — also operates with struct timeval instead. 💜

and the result is stored to the right-hand side, periodt. 👑

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

• timeradd(3)
• timeval(3)
• bintime(9)
• timecounter(9)

mwah 💋 that's the whole vibe. this page is from Debian, dated June 8, 2010, and it's literally BINTIME_ADD(9) — bye bestie! 🎀
