ns_to_timespec64(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

Okay bestie, this is ns_to_timespec64(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the real one — and its whole personality is Convert nanoseconds to timespec64. Like, nanoseconds in, timespec64 out. Iconic behavior, honestly. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct timespec64 ns_to_timespec64 (s64 nsec );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• nsec — the nanoseconds value to be converted. That’s the whole argument list, bestie: just this one little s64. 🫶

💅 RETURN 💅

It returns the timespec64 representation of the nsec parameter. No cap, that’s the return value. ✨
