+#### Queueing frames through a bound TX function
+By default `<api>_periodic_tx` returns at most one frame per call, so it has to be called often enough to drain every due message. Passing `--tx-function` binds a frame
+sink to the API instead, so a single call hands every due message to it:
+```c
+struct <Prefix>TxSignals {
+    ...
+    uint16_t (*tx_function)(void *tx_function_context, const CanFrame *frame);
+    void *tx_function_context;
+};
+void <api>_periodic_tx_init(struct <Prefix>TxSignals *tx_signals, uint64_t now,
+                            uint16_t (*tx_function)(void *, const CanFrame *), void *tx_function_context);
+uint16_t <api>_periodic_tx(struct <Prefix>TxSignals *tx_signals, uint64_t now); // returns the number of frames accepted
+```
+`<api>_periodic_tx` encodes each due message into a frame on its stack and calls `tx_function(tx_function_context, &frame)`, in the caller's context. The frame is only
+valid during that call, so the function copies it (typically into a TX queue or mailbox). It returns nonzero if it accepted the frame; only then are `send_now` cleared,
+`last_tx` updated and (with `--tx-signal-store`) the multiplex variant rotated. On a 0 return (queue full) nothing changes: a pending `send_now` is retried on the next call, a periodic message waits for its next
+slot (`now % period == offset`); the missed slot is skipped, not caught up.
+The `tx_callback` rules are unchanged: in callback-only mode a `NULL` return queues nothing, and `send_now` stays set as well. Works with and without
+`--tx-signal-store`.

 ### Encode All Signals
 Some messages use multiplexes combining many signals in to a single message. This may be particularly true for configuration messages that have many related parameters and use
 multiplexes to fit all parameters in to a single message using many mux groups. If the entire config should be read out and the read back happens periodically, the supervisory controller

 `struct MsgRxContext` remains a single shared type, which is why the signal struct is passed as `void *` rather than a typed pointer.
 
+### Current time as callback argument
+
+The `now` handed to `<api>_process_received_frame` and `<api>_periodic_tx` can be forwarded to the callbacks, so a callback that timestamps, filters or rate-limits
+does not have to read the clock again (and sees exactly the time the API used for `last_rx` / `last_tx`). The two paths have separate flags:
+
+* `--time-as-rx-callback-arg` adds a `uint64_t now` parameter to the RX callback.
+* `--time-as-tx-callback-arg` adds a `uint64_t now` parameter to the TX callback.
+
+Arguments are always in the order message pointer, time, context pointer, each present only when its flag is set. With every RX flag the callback is
+`void (*rx_callback)(void *msg, uint64_t now, void *ctx)`; with only `--time-as-tx-callback-arg` it is `void *(*tx_callback)(uint64_t now)`.
+
+### Using your own frame type
+
+By default every generated function takes a `CanFrame *`, and the generator writes a sibling `canframe.h` that defines `CanFrame`. If the application already has a
+frame struct (for example the one its CAN driver fills), the API can use that type directly instead, so no copy between two frame structs is needed:
+
+* `-ct`, `--canframe-type` sets the type name used in every generated signature. Include the `struct` keyword if the type is not a typedef, e.g.
+  `-ct "struct DriverFrame"`.
+* `-ch`, `--canframe-header` sets the header the generated `.h` includes to get that type, e.g. `-ch driver_frame.h`.
+* `-im` / `-lm` / `-pm` rename the members the API reads and writes, so they match your struct (see the [command-line reference](#api)).
+
+If either `-ct` or `-ch` is given, **`canframe.h` is not generated**. Giving either option means the application provides the frame definition, and writing our
+`canframe.h` would at best go unused and at worst overwrite the application's own `canframe.h`. This holds even if the value passed equals the default (e.g.
+`-ch canframe.h`), so supply your own header whenever you pass either flag.
+
+Your type must provide three members, accessed as plain scalars:
+
+| Member (default name) | Use | Requirement |
+|---|---|---|
+| `arbitration_id` (`-im`) | compared against / set to the message id | integer wide enough for the id (`uint32_t` for extended ids) |
+| `length` (`-lm`) | compared against / set to the message DLC | integer |
+| `payload` (`-pm`) | the whole 8-byte payload in one access | a single `uint64_t`, **not** a byte array |
+
+The payload requirement rules out structs such as Linux's `struct can_frame`, whose data is a `__u8 data[8]` array. Wrap such frames in a struct with a `uint64_t`
+payload (or a union with one) instead.
+
+```bash
+can-api-gen api bus.kcd my_api DUT -r -p -ct DriverFrame -ch driver_frame.h -im id -lm dlc -pm data
+```
+
+```c
+/* driver_frame.h — supplied by the application */
+#include <stdint.h>
+typedef struct DriverFrame {
+    uint32_t id;
+    uint8_t  dlc;
+    uint64_t data;
+} DriverFrame;
