STRUCT POSIX_CPUTIMERS(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this is struct posix_cputimers(9) from the Kernel API Manual ✨ and it's literally the container for posix CPU timer related data. That's the vibe. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       struct posix_cputimers {
           struct posix_cputimer_base      bases[CPUCLOCK_MAX];
           unsigned int                    timers_active;
           unsigned int                    expiry_active;
        };

🎀 Members 🎀

• bases — base container for posix CPU clocks. It's giving foundation, it's giving main character storage 💅
• timers_active — timers are queued. slay, they're in line ✨
• expiry_active — timer expiry is active. It's used for process wide timers to avoid multiple task trying to handle expiry concurrently, so no messy overlapping expiry drama 😭🔥

🦋 Description 🦋

It's used in task_struct and signal_struct. That's it, that's the tea 🫶
