NAME

       proc_dointvec_jiffies - read a vector of integers as seconds

SYNOPSIS

       int proc_dointvec_jiffies  (ctl_table * table, int write,
                                    struct file * filp, void __user * buffer,
                                    size_t * lenp, loff_t * ppos);

ARGUMENTS

       table  the sysctl table

       write   TRUE if this is a write to the sysctl file

       filp   the file structure

       buffer the user buffer

       lenp   the size of the user buffer

       ppos   file position

DESCRIPTION

       Reads/writes  up  to  table->maxlen/sizeof(unsigned int) integer values
       from/to the user buffer, treated as an ASCII string.  The  values  read
