💖 idpf_ptp_get_dev_clk_time(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes, we're reading kernel docs together, this is our bonding era 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

idpf_ptp_get_dev_clk_time — the lil function that sends a virtchnl get device clk time message 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int idpf_ptp_get_dev_clk_time (struct idpf_adapter *adapter , struct
idpf_ptp_dev_timers *dev_clk_time );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• adapter — the driver-specific private structure, aka the driver's own lil bag of secrets 👜
• dev_clk_time — pointer to the device clock structure, and that's where the value gets set — so yes, she's an out-param, main character energy fr 🔥

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically: this sends a virtchnl get time message to get the time of the clock ⏰✨ That's the whole vibe check — ask the device what time its clock thinks it is.

---

💀 RETURN 💀

0 on success, -errno otherwise — no cap, that's it 😭
