🌸 NAME 🌸

current_clocksource_store — interface for manually overriding clocksource. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ssize_t current_clocksource_store (struct device *dev , struct
device_attribute *attr , const char *buf , size_t count );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — unused. literally just sitting there, not doing anything. 🙈
• attr — unused. also just vibing. 💀
• buf — name of override clocksource. this is the important one, bestie. 👑
• count — length of buffer. yes ma'am, it's giving buffer length. 🍓

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so the function takes input from the sysfs interface for manually overriding the default clocksource selection. that's the tea. ☕✨
