okay so bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual β this one's a tiny little function but she's iconic in her own right. literally just "read a sysfs attribute," that's the whole vibe. no cap. π
β¨ NAME β¨
libnvme_get_attr β read sysfs attribute πβ¨
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
char * libnvme_get_attr (const char *d , const char *attr );
that's it. that's the whole signature. she's short and she knows it π
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ
dβ the sysfs directory, bestie. like, the folder you're poking around in ποΈattrβ the sysfs attribute name β the actual thing inside that directory you wanna read π
β RETURN β
you get back a newly allocated string holding the contents of attr β and the caller frees it, okay?? that's your job, not hers, don't leave her hanging ππ«Ά
or you get NULL if the value is empty or something went wrong. so likeβ¦ check before you use it, fr fr. empty value or error both land you in the same NULL situation β no distinction, that's just how she is π
real talk: NULL is not a failure you can ignore. if you dereference it without checking, that's on you, not on her π
and that's the whole page, bestie β short, sweet, slays π
