hte_ts_get(9)

💅 hte_ts_get(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual entry you actually wanna read

okay so bestie, welcome to hte_ts_get(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, that manual — and no cap, this one is short and sweet. It's the little function that sets up your HTE descriptor before anything else gets to touch it. Let's go 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

hte_ts_get — the function to initialize and obtain HTE desc. literally its whole job 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int hte_ts_get (struct device *dev , struct hte_ts_desc *desc , int
index );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• dev — the HTE consumer/client device 🫶 it's used in case of parsing the device tree node, iykyk.
• desc — a pre-allocated timestamp descriptor. pre-allocated, bestie, that part is on you 💀
• index — this index is used as an index to parse line_id from the device tree node if the node is present ✨.

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the way this works: hte_ts_get initializes the consumer-provided HTE descriptor. that's the whole vibe check 💅

if the consumer has a device tree node, then index is used to parse the line id and other details from it 🌈.

🚨 real talk: the function needs to be called before using any request APIs. like, before. not after, not "eh, somewhere in the vicinity." before. periodt 🔥

---

🔒 CONTEXT 🔒

Holds mutex lock ⭐ — yes queen, it's locking, be aware of that when you're calling it from wherever you're calling it from 🙈.

---

🎀 RETURN 🎀

Returns 0 on success or a negative error code on failure 😭 (check it, bestie, don't just vibe past the return value).
