iio_device_set_clock(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

iio_device_set_clock(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — is literally the function that sets the current timestamping clock for the device. Iconic little kernel helper behavior, no cap. 💅✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

       int iio_device_set_clock (struct iio_dev *indio_dev , clockid_t clock_id
       );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• indio_dev — the IIO device structure containing the device. That's the main-character struct, periodt.
• clock_id — the timestamping clock POSIX identifier to set. Yes, it's giving POSIX identifier energy. 🕰️

💖 RETURN 💖

0 on success, or a negative error code.

So basically: zero means it ate and left no crumbs; a negative error code means it did not. Keep it moving. 😭💀
