e1000e_ptp_init(9)

✨ e1000e_ptp_init(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual for e1000e_ptp_init — yes that's the page name, we're doing the fancy (9) section thing, it's giving kernel-internal realness 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

e1000e_ptp_init — initialize PTP for devices which support it 🕰️✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void e1000e_ptp_init (struct e1000_adapter *adapter );

like literally that's the whole call, no cap. returns void, so it's not gonna hand you anything back — it just does the thing 💖

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adapter — the board private structure 🫶 that's your struct e1000_adapter *, the main character of this whole operation

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does it actually do? This function performs the required steps for enabling PTP support. That's it, that's the job — it's not out here doing extra credit 🙈

Here's the lil plot twist though: if PTP support has already been loaded, it doesn't redo all the work. It simply calls the cyclecounter init routine and exits. 🏃‍♀️💨 like "been there, done that, calling cyclecounter init, bye" — iconic efficiency honestly 👑

and that's a wrap! 🌈 this lil beauty came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e... (the source path, yes it's truncated on the page, don't come for me 😭) and it's dated October 2026 — stay slay, stay patched, and may your cyclecounter always init correctly 💜✨🍓
