32 * struct posix_clock_operations - functional interface to the clock
34 * Every posix clock is represented by a character device. Drivers may
35 * optionally offer extended capabilities by implementing the
36 * character device methods. The character device file operations are
37 * first handled by the clock device layer, then passed on to the
38 * driver by calling these functions.
40 * @owner: The clock driver should set to THIS_MODULE
41 * @clock_adjtime: Adjust the clock
42 * @clock_gettime: Read the current time
43 * @clock_getres: Get the clock resolution
44 * @clock_settime: Set the current time value
45 * @timer_create: Create a new timer
46 * @timer_delete: Remove a previously created timer
47 * @timer_gettime: Get remaining time and interval of a timer
48 * @timer_settime: Set a timer's initial expiration and interval
49 * @fasync: Optional character device fasync method
50 * @mmap: Optional character device mmap method
51 * @open: Optional character device open method
52 * @release: Optional character device release method
53 * @ioctl: Optional character device ioctl method
54 * @read: Optional character device read method
55 * @poll: Optional character device poll method

114 * structure, obtaining a reference to it during callbacks using

146 * inactive state) until its reference count drops to zero, at which
147 * point it will be deallocated with its 'release' method.
