💅 iavf_ptp_register_clock (9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, so this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the glow-up moment for a PTP clock. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

iavf_ptp_register_clock — register a brand new PTP for userspace 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int iavf_ptp_register_clock (struct iavf_adapter *adapter );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• adapter — the private adapter structure. that's the main character right there 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the whole vibe here is: allocate and register a new PTP clock device if necessary. that's it, that's the assignment. it checks whether we need one, and if we do — slay, it goes and makes it happen ✨

ngl "if necessary" is doing a lot of work in that sentence, but that's exactly what it says, no cap.

💅 RETURN 💅

0 if success 🎉 — error otherwise 😭
