32  * struct posix_clock_operations - functional interface to the clock
33  *
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.
39  *
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
