🎀 gtm_set_timer16(9) 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for gtm_set_timer16(9) — she’s the one who (re)sets a 16-bit timer with arbitrary precision, and honestly? iconic. 💅✨

💖 NAME 💖

gtm_set_timer16 - (re)set 16 bit timer with arbitrary precision

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int gtm_set_timer16 (struct gtm_timer *tmr , unsigned long usec , bool
       reload );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• tmr — pointer to the gtm_timer structure obtained from gtm_get_timer
• usec — timer interval in microseconds
• reload — if set, the timer will reset upon expiry rather than continue running free.

🦋 CONTEXT 🦋

any 🫶 — that’s literally the whole context, bestie.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so this function (re)sets the GTM timer so that it counts up to the requested interval value, and fires the interrupt when the value is reached. periodt. 💥

and yes, she’s smart: this function will reduce the precision of the timer as needed in order for the requested timeout to fit in a 16-bit register. it’s giving “we can make it fit” energy, no cap. 🎀
