💅 clock_t_to_jiffies — the kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay bestie, welcome to the clock_t_to_jiffies (section 9) glow-up ✨ this is a kernel API page, and it's honestly so short it's giving "one-line baddie" energy, so let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

clock_t_to_jiffies — literally just converts a clock_t into jiffies, no cap 🕐➡️⏱️

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

unsigned long clock_t_to_jiffies(unsigned long x);

that's it. that's the whole function signature. she's simple, she's iconic 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • x — the clock_t value you're handing over. that's the whole vibe. she's the input, she's the main character 👑

⭐ RETURN ⭐

you get back that clock_t value, but converted to jiffies 💖 (yes, the return is very much "what it says on the tin", and honestly? we respect the honesty 🔥)

👑 SEE ALSO 👑
