ktime_get_aux_ts64(9)

💅 ktime_get_aux_ts64(9) — bestie, it's time 💅

okay so this page comes from the Kernel API Manual, and the main character is ktime_get_aux_ts64(9). It's giving “ask the kernel for the AUX clock time” energy, and we're obsessed. Let's get into it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ktime_get_aux_ts64 — Get time for a AUX clock. That's literally the whole name section, no cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool ktime_get_aux_ts64 (clockid_t id , struct timespec64 *ts );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• id — ID of the clock to read (CLOCK_AUX...). This is the “which clock are we asking, bestie?” argument.
• ts — Pointer to timespec64 to store the time stamp. Like, here's where the timestamp goes. 🫶

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Returns true if the timestamp is valid, and false otherwise. So you get a little yes/no vibe check back. 💖
