Function Documentation

bt_util_clock_cycles_to_ns_from_origin()

bt_util_clock_cycles_to_ns_from_origin_status bt_util_clock_cycles_to_ns_from_origin	(	uint64_t	cycles,
		uint64_t	frequency,
		int64_t	offset_seconds,
		uint64_t	offset_cycles,
		int64_t *	ns_from_origin )

Converts the clock value cycles from cycles to nanoseconds from the origin of the clock and sets *ns_from_origin to the result.

This function considers the frequency of the clock in Hz (frequency), an offset from its origin in seconds (offset_seconds) which can be negative, and an additional offset in cycles (offset_cycles).

This function:

1. Converts the offset_cycles value to seconds using frequency.
2. Converts the cycles value to seconds using frequency.
3. Adds the values of step 1, step 2, and offset_seconds.
4. Converts the value of step 3 to nanoseconds and sets *ns_from_origin to this result.

The following illustration shows the possible scenarios:

offset_seconds can be negative. For example, considering:

• A 1000 Hz clock.
• offset_seconds set to −10 seconds.
• offset_cycles set to 500 cycles (that is, 0.5 seconds).
• cycles set to 2000 cycles (that is, 2 seconds).

The computed value is −7.5 seconds, so this function sets *ns_from_origin to −7,500,000,000.

This function can fail and return the BT_UTIL_CLOCK_CYCLES_TO_NS_FROM_ORIGIN_STATUS_OVERFLOW_ERROR status code if any step of the computation process causes an integer overflow.

Parameters

[in]	cycles	Value of the clock (cycles).
[in]	frequency	Frequency of the clock (Hz, or cycles/second).
[in]	offset_seconds	Offset, in seconds, from the origin of the clock to add to cycles (once converted to seconds).
[in]	offset_cycles	Offset, in cycles, to add to cycles.
[out]	ns_from_origin	On success, *ns_from_origin is cycles converted to nanoseconds from origin considering the properties of the clock.

Return values

BT_UTIL_CLOCK_CYCLES_TO_NS_FROM_ORIGIN_STATUS_OK	Success.
BT_UTIL_CLOCK_CYCLES_TO_NS_FROM_ORIGIN_STATUS_OVERFLOW_ERROR	Integer overflow while computing the result.

Precondition

frequency isn't 0.

frequency isn't UINT64_C(-1).

frequency is greater than offset_cycles.

offset_cycles is less than frequency.

ns_from_origin is not NULL.
