💖 NAME 💖

fdtput — bestie, this is the little icon that writes a property value into a device-tree 🌳✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

/usr/bin/fdtput <options> <dt file> <<node> <property> [<value>...]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so real talk: fdtput writes a property value to a device-tree. And here's the part that lowkey matters — all the command line arguments get joined together into a single value. Like, they're not separate things, they're one thing. Periodt. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h — prints this help, that's it, that's the whole job 🫶
• -v — verbose mode, and it's giving receipts: it displays each value decoded from the command line 👑
• -t <type> — the type of data. Main character energy right here, choose wisely 🌈

<type> can be:

• s = string
• i = int
• u = unsigned
• x = hex

And there's an optional modifier prefix you can slap on the front:

• hh or b = byte
• h = 2 byte
• l = 4 byte — and heads up bestie, this one is the default 💖

ngl, the modifier prefix is optional but the type itself is the whole vibe check — pick the wrong one and your bytes will simply not be slaying. 😭
