✨ igc_ptp_hwtstamp_get ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for igc_ptp_hwtstamp_get — yes that's the whole function name, yes it's a mouthful, no we're not abbreviating it, iykyk 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

igc_ptp_hwtstamp_get — get hardware time stamping config 🕰️✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

literally that's the whole signature, no cap. she returns an int, she takes two pointers, she's booked and busy 💖

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• netdev — the network interface device structure 🫶 like, the actual NIC we're talking about here
• config — the timestamping configuration structure ⏰ the lil container the settings go into

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

okay so picture this: someone wants the hwtstamp_config settings back, right? this function's whole job is to hand them over 😌

and here's the iconic part — instead of being extra and trying to reconstruct the settings by digging through the registers one by one (exhausting, messy, not the vibe), she just returns a shadow copy of the last known settings. like she already remembered it. she took notes. main character energy 👑

no register deconstruction, no reverse-engineering, just the cached truth. slay 💅
