ttc_set_next_event(9)

💅 ttc_set_next_event(9) — the kernel API manual page, bestie edition 🎀

Ok so this is ttc_set_next_event, a section 9 kernel API manual page, and we're about to make it make sense. Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, it's gonna be slay.

✨ NAME ✨

ttc_set_next_event — sets the time interval for the next event ⏰

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ttc_set_next_event (unsigned long cycles , struct clock_event_device *evt );

Like, that's the whole signature. She returns an int, she takes two things, and honestly she ate. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cycles — the timer interval ticks. That's it, that's the vibe. It's an unsigned long, so she's out here counting ticks for the next event. 🔥
• evt — the address of the clock event instance. A pointer to your struct clock_event_device. Give her the address and she knows what's up. ✨

👑 RETURN 👑

Always 0 — success. No cap, no variation, no dramatic plot twist. She returns 0 every single time and honestly? Consistency is main character energy. 😭💖

Heads up bestie: there's no OPTIONS section on this one, no exit statuses, no signals, no env vars. She's a short page and she knows it. 💀
