  19 * struct posix_clock_operations - functional interface to the clock
  20 *
  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.
  26 *
  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
