fec_ptp_gettime(9)

💅 fec_ptp_gettime(9) — Kernel API Manual

okay bestie, welcome to fec_ptp_gettime, straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a little function from the Freescale FEC PTP world and she's honestly kind of a vibe. let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

fec_ptp_gettime -

so like… the description is literally empty. not me getting a NAME section with nothing after the dash 😭 that's it, that's the entry. no cap, there's genuinely no blurb here. iconic in a minimal way tbh 💀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int fec_ptp_gettime (struct ptp_clock_info *ptp , struct timespec64 *ts
);

returns an int, takes a struct ptp_clock_info *ptp and a struct timespec64 *ts. that's the whole signature, slay 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ptp — the ptp clock structure. that's the PT P clock babe, she's holding the info 💖
• ts — a timespec structure to hold the current time value. this is where the time goes, it's giving little time container 🎀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so what she does: reads the timecounter and returns the correct value in ns — nanoseconds, bestie — and she does it after converting it into a struct timespec. so: read the counter 👉 get the ns value right 👉 convert to struct timespec 👉 done. lowkey clean, highkey useful ✨
