wx_ptp_stop(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 wx_ptp_stop(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so first things first, this is from the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name, mwah, we love a title), and today's main character is wx_ptp_stop. she destroys things. respectfully. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

wx_ptp_stop — literally destroys the ptp_clock device. no cap, that's the whole job.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void wx_ptp_stop (struct wx *wx );

that's it. that's the whole function. void return, one argument, she's clean, she's minimal, she ate. 💅

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • wx — pointer to struct wx. yes that's the whole description. it's a pointer. to a wx struct. giving "i showed up, i pointed, i left" energy and honestly? iconic. 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, bestie, listen 👂 — this function completely destroys the ptp_clock device, and it also disables all PTP related features. all of them. not some, not most, all. it's a full send, no half measures, no "let me just leave one PTP feature running for the vibes." nope. gone. 💀

it's intended to be run when the device is being closed, so think of it as the goodbye scene in a movie where the device packs its bags, turns off the lights, and shuts the door behind it. 🚪✨ run it at close time, that's the vibe.

🙈 no extra chores listed here — this page is short and sweet and knows exactly what it is.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the kernel file lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/wangxun/libwx/wx_ptp.c — go say hi to her, she's the source of truth 🫶

and here's the whole friend group, the PTP squad, the ones you'll probably be hanging with:

like, the entire group chat. read them, love them, link them. 📚💜

🌸 and that's the page!! 🌸

shoutout to the source path ./drivers/net/ethernet/wangxun... and the date October 2026 — that's the version/date footer energy, consider it signed, sealed, and slayed. go close that device, bestie, wx_ptp_stop(9) has your back 🫶💖✨
