ENUM IWL_SYNCED_TIME_OPERATION(9)

✨ enum iwl_synced_time_operation(9) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page out of the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about PTM request options — like, the little menu of choices you hand over when you want the firmware to go grab some timestamps for you. it's giving very niche, very demure, very "if you know you know" 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

enum iwl_synced_time_operation — the PTM request options, aka the pick-your-timestamp-flavor enum 🕐✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

like, here's the whole thing, no cap:

enum iwl_synced_time_operation {
    IWL_SYNCED_TIME_OPERATION_READ_ARTB ,
    IWL_SYNCED_TIME_OPERATION_READ_GP2 ,
    IWL_SYNCED_TIME_OPERATION_READ_BOTH

};

---

🌸 Constants 🌸

these are the three vibes you can pick from, bestie. choose wisely 🫶

• IWL_SYNCED_TIME_OPERATION_READ_ARTB — reads only the ARTB time. that's it, that's the whole personality 🎀
• IWL_SYNCED_TIME_OPERATION_READ_GP2 — reads only the GP2 time. one clock, one job 💅
• IWL_SYNCED_TIME_OPERATION_READ_BOTH — the main character option 👑 this one latches the ARTB and GP2 clocks together and hands you timestamps from both clocks for the same time point. like yes, give me both, aligned, iconic 🔥

ngl, READ_BOTH is the one you want if you're doing any real clock-matching. the other two are lowkey just single-clock errands 😭
