Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] man/man2/adjtimex.2: Fix include+add error
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 01:37:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027003712.905789-1-mail@gms.tf> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261025125656.877530-1-mail@gms.tf>
Hello,
this series fixes the include instructions for clock_adjtime()
and documents another error its invocation may yield.
Changes v1 -> v2:
- split patch into series
- use define-style feature macro instead of extra section
- fix font style macro usage
Best regards,
Georg

+ man/man2/adjtimex.2: Add include and macro for clock_adjtime
GNU libc declares clock_adjtime() when including time.h, and not when
just sys/timex.h is included, iff support for GNU features is requested.

- The ERANGE error can be verified either via trying to adjust the
- frequency of a PHC by a value that is outside of [-X,X],
- where X=`cat /sys/class/ptp/ptpX/max_adjustment`,
- or via checking the kernel source code:

.SH DESCRIPTION
Linux uses David L.\& Mills' clock adjustment algorithm (see RFC\ 5905).
-@@ man/man2/adjtimex.2: .SH ERRORS
- Under Linux, the
- .B CAP_SYS_TIME
- capability is required.
-+.TP
-+.B ERANGE
-+The frequency offset supplied with
-+.BR clock_adjtime ()
-+is outside of the range clock clk_id supports.
-+See also /sys/class/ptp/ptpX/max_adjustment when adjusting a PTP hardware clock.
