STRUCT PPS_GEN_EVENT(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to struct pps_gen_event(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💅 this page is literally all about the PPS generator events, and yes it's giving niche-kernel-lore in the best way 🦋

struct pps_gen_event {
    unsigned int event;
    unsigned int sequence;
 };

🫶 Members 🫶

• event — the event type 👀 like, which event it is, periodt.
• sequence — the event sequence number 🔢 the sequence-y number, no cap.

🌸 Description 🌸

okay so userspace can get the last PPS generator event by using the ioctl(pps_gen, PPS_GEN_FETCHEVENT, ...) syscall 💖 that's the move, bestie.

The sequence field can be used to save the last event ID, while in the event field is stored the last event type ✨ yes, they're doing different jobs and both are main characters.

Currently known event is:

• PPS_GEN_EVENT_MISSEDPULSE — last pulse was not generated 😭 the pulse did not happen, and that's the whole mood.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• Kernel file ./include/uapi/linux/pps_gen.h 👑 go read it, iykyk.

xoxo, bestie 🫶 this iconic little page came from ./include/uapi/linux, dated October 2026, and it's serving struct pps_gen_event(9) energy 💅✨
