19 * struct posix_clock_operations - functional interface to the clock
21 * Every posix clock is represented by a character device. Drivers may
22 * optionally offer extended capabilities by implementing the
23 * character device methods. The character device file operations are
24 * first handled by the clock device layer, then passed on to the
25 * driver by calling these functions.
27 * @owner: The clock driver should set to THIS_MODULE
28 * @clock_adjtime: Adjust the clock
29 * @clock_gettime: Read the current time
30 * @clock_getres: Get the clock resolution
31 * @clock_settime: Set the current time value
32 * @open: Optional character device open method
33 * @release: Optional character device release method
34 * @ioctl: Optional character device ioctl method
35 * @read: Optional character device read method
36 * @poll: Optional character device poll method
