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