ktime_get_raw_ts64(9)

💅 ktime_get_raw_ts64(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, the vibes are immaculate, and you just need time — but the raw, unfiltered kind. no ntp glow-up, no adjustments, just pure monotonic realness. that's this function. she's giving main character energy in the timekeeping department 🕰️👑

---

✨ NAME ✨

ktime_get_raw_ts64 — returns the raw monotonic time in a timespec 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ktime_get_raw_ts64 (struct timespec64 *ts );

like, that's the whole signature. she's not complicated, she's just precise 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ts — pointer to the timespec64 that gets set, periodt. you hand her the struct, she fills it in. no cap 🫶

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Returns the raw monotonic time — and we mean raw. this is completely un-modified by ntp, bestie 😭 ntp doesn't touch this one, doesn't adjust it, doesn't even look at it. it's the untouched, no-filter, bare-faced version of monotonic time and honestly? iconic 🌈⭐
