fec_ptp_enable(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ fec_ptp_enable(9) ✨

okay so first things first, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 (that's the kernel devs' club, iykyk), and the function living rent-free in here is fec_ptp_enable. πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

fec_ptp_enable β€”

and bestie. that's it. that's the whole name line. the dash is just sitting there with nothing after it, giving mysterious main character with no bio energy. no summary, no little tagline, nada. we love a humble queen. πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

here's the signature, copied exactly so you can literally just paste it and go:

int fec_ptp_enable (struct ptp_clock_info *ptp , struct ptp_clock_request *rq , int on );

she takes three things and hands you back an int. that's the whole vibe check. ✨


πŸ”₯ ARGUMENTS πŸ”₯

okay so three besties walk into a function:

  • ptp β€” the ptp clock structure itself, the actual main character of this whole situation 🫢
  • rq β€” the requested feature to change, like, what are we even doing here today
  • on β€” whether to enable or disable that feature. on or off. yes or no. the eternal binary πŸ’€

πŸ‘‘ SEE ALSO πŸ‘‘

the receipts, fr fr β€” everything here comes from the kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_ptp.c, and the related cast of characters is:

literally the whole friend group. go say hi. 🌈


ngl this page is short and sweet β€” no options, no return values spelled out, no env vars, no warnings, no bugs section. sometimes the manpage is just chill like that. 🧚

and that's the tea, bestie πŸ’– β€” this iconic little number came out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/freescale, dated October 2026, and it answers to the name fec_ptp_enable(9). mwah. πŸ“
