igb_ptp_hwtstamp_get(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 igb_ptp_hwtstamp_get(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie 🎀

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and the star of the show is igb_ptp_hwtstamp_get — the function that gets you your hardware time stamping config. no cap, it's a whole vibe. let's get into it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

igb_ptp_hwtstamp_get — get hardware time stamping config 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int igb_ptp_hwtstamp_get (struct net_device *netdev , struct
       kernel_hwtstamp_config *config );

like, yes, it returns an int, and yes it takes those two things. iconic signature honestly. 👑

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

  • netdev — the netdev struct 🫶
  • config — the timestamping configuration structure ⭐

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so what this does: it gets the hwtstamp_config settings and hands them back to the user. and here's the slay part — instead of trying to deconstruct the settings from the registers (which is giving chaos, giving "not me reading raw hardware"), it just returns a shadow copy of the last known settings. much simpler, much cuter, lowkey genius. 💅

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_ptp.c 📁

and the whole friend group, fr fr:

🫶 that's the whole page bestie — no hidden extras, no secret lore, just the timestamping config fetch. go off. 🔥

mwah 💋 this one came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb, dated October 2026, and it's the igb_ptp_hwtstamp_get(9) page — periodt. 🌈👑
