ttc_set_interval(9)

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

okay so picture this: it's a kernel man page, it's called ttc_set_interval, and it's lowkey the moment where you tell the timer how many ticks its interval is gonna be. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "one job, absolutely slaying it." ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ttc_set_interval — set the timer interval value 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ttc_set_interval (struct ttc_timer *timer , unsigned long cycles );

like, look at her. void return, no notes, she doesn't even need to give anything back. main character energy fr fr 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• timer — pointer to the timer instance 🫶 so like, the actual timer you're talking to. hand her over, don't be shy.
• cycles — timer interval ticks ⏱️ literally the number of ticks you want the interval to be. that's the whole value. no cap.

💖 SEE ALSO 💖

okay so if you're gonna go snooping around (and you should, iykyk 👀), here's the whole little friend group:

• ./drivers/clocksource/timer-cadence-ttc.c — the kernel file where all of this lives, go read it, she's iconic
• struct ttc_timer(9) — the struct itself, the blueprint, the moment
• ttc_clock_event_interrupt(9)
• __ttc_clocksource_read(9)
• ttc_set_next_event(9)
• ttc_shutdown(9)
• ttc_set_periodic(9)

ngl, that's a lot of TTC functions and they all ate. go click through them, you'll be obsessed. 🔥

and that's the tea, bestie 🍓 this little gem comes to you courtesy of ./drivers/clocksource and it's dated October 2026 — the ttc_set_interval(9) page, straight from the Kernel API Manual. mwah, go set some intervals, you're gonna do amazing 💜🧚‍♀️🌈
