πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… clk_hw_register_fixed_rate β€” the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so picture this: you're in the Linux kernel clock framework (iykyk, the clk girlies) and you need to register a clock that just… doesn't move. A fixed-rate clock. No adjusting, no vibes-based frequency changes, just one (1) rate forever. That's this function. She's the main character of "set it and forget it." πŸŽ€

✨ NAME ✨

clk_hw_register_fixed_rate β€” register a fixed-rate clock with the clock framework. literally that's it, that's her whole job 🫢

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

clk_hw_register_fixed_rate (dev , name , parent_name , flags ,
fixed_rate );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • dev β€” the device that's registering this clock. like, who's the parent in the "who do I put on the birth certificate" sense πŸ’–
  • name β€” the name of this clock. give her a good one, she deserves it ✨
  • parent_name β€” the name of the clock's parent πŸ‘‘ (every queen has an origin story)
  • flags β€” framework-specific flags. the little toggles that say how she should behave 🎚️
  • fixed_rate β€” a non-adjustable clock rate. key word: non-adjustable. she is who she is. periodt πŸ’…

and that's the whole page, bestie πŸ’œ this one lives in ./include/linux, it's dated October 2026, and yeah β€” the header/footer both just say clk_hw_register_fixed_rate(9) again because the kernel manual likes to repeat itself for emphasis πŸ’€ go register ur fixed clock, u got this πŸ§šβ€β™€οΈβœ¨
