π ab8500_btemp_id β kernel API manual, section 9, bestie
okay so real talk, this is the man page for ab8500_btemp_id, and yes it's from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, if we're being fancy), so buckle up π
β¨ NAME β¨
ab8500_btemp_id β the one that figures out which battery you just plugged in π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
int ab8500_btemp_id (struct ab8500_btemp *di );
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ
diβ a pointer to theab8500_btempstructure. that's it, that's the whole arg list, she's low maintenance π«Ά
π DESCRIPTION π
so what does she do? this function will try to identify the battery by reading the ID resistor β like, hello?? identifying your battery?? main character energy fr π
and here's the cute part: some brands use a combined ID resistor with a NTC resistor, so they can both identify and read the temperature of it at the same time. iconic. multi-tasking queen π β¨
