ENUM VIRTCHNL2_PTP_CAPS(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, this is enum virtchnl2_ptp_caps(9) — literally PTP capabilities — straight out of the Kernel API Manual. it's giving tiny enum, big Main Timer energy, and we're gonna go through every single constant, no skipping 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the enum in all its glory, copied exactly so nobody comes for me:

enum virtchnl2_ptp_caps {
    VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_GET_DEVICE_CLK_TIME ,
    VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_GET_DEVICE_CLK_TIME_MB ,
    VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_GET_CROSS_TIME ,
    VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_GET_CROSS_TIME_MB ,
    VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_SET_DEVICE_CLK_TIME ,
    VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_SET_DEVICE_CLK_TIME_MB ,
    VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_ADJ_DEVICE_CLK ,
    VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_ADJ_DEVICE_CLK_MB ,
    VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_TX_TSTAMPS ,
    VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_TX_TSTAMPS_MB

};

🎀 Constants 🎀

• VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_GET_DEVICE_CLK_TIME — direct access to get the time of device clock 🕰️
• VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_GET_DEVICE_CLK_TIME_MB — mailbox access to get the time of device clock 📬
• VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_GET_CROSS_TIME — direct access to cross timestamp ✨
• VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_GET_CROSS_TIME_MB — mailbox access to cross timestamp 📬
• VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_SET_DEVICE_CLK_TIME — direct access to set the time of device clock ⏱️
• VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_SET_DEVICE_CLK_TIME_MB — mailbox access to set the time of device clock 📬
• VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_ADJ_DEVICE_CLK — direct access to adjust the time of device clock 🎛️
• VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_ADJ_DEVICE_CLK_MB — mailbox access to adjust the time of device clock 📬
• VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_TX_TSTAMPS — direct access to the Tx timestamping 🔥
• VIRTCHNL2_CAP_PTP_TX_TSTAMPS_MB — mailbox access to the Tx timestamping 📬

💖 Description 💖

okay so the actual tea: the PF/VF negotiates a set of supported PTP capabilities with the Control Plane. there are two access methods — mailbox (_MB) and direct. PTP capabilities enables Main Timer operations: get/set/adjust Main Timer, cross timestamping and the Tx timestamping. that's it, bestie — iconic, concise, no filler 💅
