🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so this is TVTOHZ(9), straight out of the Kernel Developer's Manual, and it's literally the page for tvtohz — convert time interval to tick count. That's the whole vibe: you bring a time interval, it tells you how many system ticks fit in it. simple, iconic, no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <sys/time.h>

int
tvtohz(struct timeval *tv);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The tvtohz() function accepts a single argument, tv, and bestie, that argument is the whole story. It specifies the time interval over which you want to calculate the number of system ticks that would elapse. That's it. One argument, one job, main character energy, periodt. ✨

💖 RETURN VALUES 💖

It returns the integral number of system ticks expected to elapse in the given interval, and yes — the current tick is included. so don't forget that part, okay? 🫶

🔥 HISTORY 🔥

The tvtohz function first appeared in FreeBSD 3.0 — vintage but still slaying. 👑
