ice_ptp_gettimex64(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_ptp_gettimex64(9) — NAME

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and the function is literally called ice_ptp_gettimex64 — it gets the time of the clock. that's it, that's the vibe check 🕐✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_ptp_gettimex64 (struct ptp_clock_info *info , struct timespec64
*ts , struct ptp_system_timestamp *sts );

it returns an int, bestie. keep that in mind 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • info — the driver's PTP info structure. it's giving "this is the clock's whole personality" energy 🫶
  • ts — a timespec64 structure that's gonna hold the current time value. basically the cutest lil time container 💖
  • sts — optional parameter for holding a pair of system timestamps from the system clock. if you pass NULL it literally gets ignored, no cap 🙈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what it does: it reads the device clock and returns the correct value in ns, after converting it into a timespec struct. that's the whole plot. lowkey iconic in its simplicity, fr fr 🌸

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

first, the kernel file itself lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_ptp.c — that's home base 🏠

and now, the extended family. brace yourself, there's a lot of them and they all ate 💅:

like… the whole friend group showed up to the function's party 🧚🎉

ngl if you only remember one thing: sts is optional and NULL gets ignored. the rest is just good manners 💀

and that's a wrap, bestie!! this page came straight out of the source at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice and it's dated October 2026, so mark your calendars 🍓✨ go read some ice_ptp_* functions and slay the day, mwah 😭💖
