e1000e_get_base_timinca(9)

💅 e1000e_get_base_timinca — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this little function is genuinely iconic, no cap. Let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

e1000e_get_base_timinca — get default SYSTIM time increment attributes

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

s32 e1000e_get_base_timinca (struct e1000_adapter *adapter , u32
*timinca );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adapter — the board private structure 💖 like, the whole personality of the board lives in here
• timinca — pointer to returned time increment attributes ✨ you pass it in, it gets filled up, it's giving output-parameter main character energy

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

So what does it actually do. It gets the attributes for incrementing the System Time Register SYSTIML/H at the default base frequency — and it also sets the cyclecounter shift value 💅 that's the whole gig, and it ate.

ngl that's a lot of friends but every single one of them made the list so we're listing them all 💀 no skipping, no "etc", we don't do that here 🧚

💜 a lil sign-off 💜

this page came straight out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e... (yes the source line gets truncated, that's just how it is 🙈) and it's dated October 2026 ⭐ so like, future vibes. anyway bestie, go increment some timestamps, you're gonna slay 🎀💅✨
