clockevent_delta2ns(9)

✨ NAME ✨

clockevent_delta2ns — Convert a latch value (device ticks) to nanoseconds. Yep bestie, that's clockevent_delta2ns(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's here to do one little unit glow-up. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u64 clockevent_delta2ns (unsigned long latch , struct clock_event_device *evt );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• latch — value to convert. That's the little tick-ish number you're handing over. ✨
• evt — pointer to clock event device descriptor. It's giving device ID card energy. 🪪

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so it's a math helper — no cap. clockevent_delta2ns returns the latch value converted to nanoseconds, and yes bestie it's bound checked, so it's not just out here vibing unchecked. 🙈 The conversion is literally the main character: device ticks in, nanoseconds out. ⭐
