Annotated Snippet
#ifndef _LINUX_MMTIMER_H
#define _LINUX_MMTIMER_H
/*
* Breakdown of the ioctl's available. An 'optional' next to the command
* indicates that supporting this command is optional, while 'required'
* commands must be implemented if conformance is desired.
*
* MMTIMER_GETOFFSET - optional
* Should return the offset (relative to the start of the page where the
* registers are mapped) for the counter in question.
*
* MMTIMER_GETRES - required
* The resolution of the clock in femto (10^-15) seconds
*
* MMTIMER_GETFREQ - required
* Frequency of the clock in Hz
*
* MMTIMER_GETBITS - required
* Number of bits in the clock's counter
*
* MMTIMER_MMAPAVAIL - required
* Returns nonzero if the registers can be mmap'd into userspace, 0 otherwise
*
* MMTIMER_GETCOUNTER - required
* Gets the current value in the counter

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Core OS / Core Kernel Interface.
- Implementation status: source implementation candidate.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
