comedi_8254_ns_to_timer(9)

✨ comedi_8254_ns_to_timer ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is comedi_8254_ns_to_timer, and no cap, the whole job is literally just "calculate the divisor value for nanosec timing." That's it. That's the function. She does math so you don't have to 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void comedi_8254_ns_to_timer (struct comedi_8254 *i8254 , unsigned int
*nanosec , unsigned int flags );

she returns void btw — don't go looking for a return value, she's not giving you one, periodt 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• i8254 — the comedi_8254 struct for the timer. this is your little timer bestie, hand her over 💖
• nanosec — the desired ns time. note that it's an unsigned int * — a pointer — so yeah, she's got main character energy and manages that value directly 🔥
• flags — comedi_cmd flags. the vibe check parameters, iykyk 🌈

ngl the whole page is short and sweet, so that's genuinely everything — no secret sections hiding, no extra options, no exit statuses, nothing. just vibes and a divisor ✨
