🎀 FORMAT(1so) — the 1-wire ID representation page, bestie ✨

Okay so the whole mission here is: choose the representation of the 1-wire unique identifiers. OWFS uses these identifiers as unique directory names, periodt. 💅

Although several display formats are selectable, all must be in form [literal missing in this excerpt], unlike some other programs and the labelling on iButtons, which are form [literal missing in this excerpt]. 😭

Display format for the 1-wire devices. Each device has a 8byte address, consisting of:

  • family code, 1 byte
  • ID number, 6 bytes
  • CRC checksum, 1 byte

Possible formats are (default, 01.A1B2C3D4E5F6), and [literal missing in this excerpt]. All formats are accepted as input, but the output will be in the specified format. No cap. ✨

The address elements can be retrieved from a device entry in owfs by the properties [literal missing in this excerpt], and as a whole with [literal missing in this excerpt]. The reversed id and address can be retrieved as [literal missing in this excerpt] and [literal missing in this excerpt]. 🦋

That’s the tea from FORMAT(1so), bestie 💖✨ The excerpt didn’t include the source/version/date footer, so I’m not gonna invent receipts — no cap 🫶
