handle_timestamp(9)

✨ handle_timestamp 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to handle_timestamp(9) — straight out of the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's giving tiny-but-mighty. this is the little function whose entire job is to handle a Tx timestamp response, and yes we are going to respect it for that 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

handle_timestamp — handle a Tx timestamp response ✨

like literally that's the whole vibe. Tx timestamp comes back, somebody's gotta handle the response, and that somebody is this function. no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void handle_timestamp (struct octeon_device *oct , u32 status , void
*buf );

she's a void, she takes three things, she does not return a value to you. main character behavior honestly 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• oct — the octeon device 💜 (yes, the whole device. she brought the whole device to the function call.)
• status — the response status 🦋 (a u32, just sitting there, telling you how the response went)
• buf — a pointer to skb 🍓 (it's a void *, so it's mysterious and undefined and we love that for it)
