+.TH __ppc_get_timebase 3 2023-05-03 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+__ppc_get_timebase, __ppc_get_timebase_freq \- get the current value
+of the Time Base Register on Power architecture and its frequency.
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library
+.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <sys/platform/ppc.h>
+.PP
+.B uint64_t __ppc_get_timebase(void);
+.B uint64_t __ppc_get_timebase_freq(void);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.BR __ppc_get_timebase ()
+reads the current value of the Time Base Register and returns its
+value, while
+.BR __ppc_get_timebase_freq ()
+returns the frequency in which the Time Base Register is updated.
+.PP
+The Time Base Register is a 64-bit register provided by Power Architecture
+processors.
+It stores a monotonically incremented value that is updated at a
+system-dependent frequency that may be different from the processor
+frequency.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.BR __ppc_get_timebase ()
+returns a 64-bit unsigned integer that represents the current value of the
+Time Base Register.
+.PP
+.BR __ppc_get_timebase_freq ()
+returns a 64-bit unsigned integer that represents the frequency at
+which the Time Base Register is updated.
+.SH STANDARDS
+GNU.
