🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

🎀 /proc/timer_list (since Linux 2.6.21)

so this file has been serving cunt since Linux 2.6.21 and it is read-only, meaning it's giving "look but don't touch" energy, which honestly? iconic 💅

what it does is expose an entire list. like, the whole thing. no gatekeeping:

• every single currently pending (high-resolution) timer ⏰
• all the clock-event sources 🌈
• and their parameters 🫶

and the way it serves all of that up is in a human-readable form, so ngl you can just read it with your own two eyeballs, no decoding required, no cap 💖

fr fr it's basically the kernel's reminder app but you're only allowed to screenshots, not edit 📸
