πŸ’… tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot(9) β€” ok bestie, let's talk

So this lil page lives in the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? It's short, it's sweet, and it's doing exactly one thing. Iconic behavior, no notes. πŸŽ€

✨ NAME ✨

tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot β€” setup the broadcast device 🫢

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot (struct clock_event_device *bc , bool
from_periodic );

That's the whole signature, bestie β€” returns void, takes two things, no cap. πŸ’…

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • bc β€” the broadcast device. That's it, that's the whole description. It's giving "pointer to the main character." πŸ‘‘
  • from_periodic β€” a bool, and it's true if this was called from periodic mode. Like, that's the entire vibe check on this one. ⭐

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
