π ab8500_fg_inst_curr_blocking β battery instantaneous current β¨
okay bestie so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's all about one lil function that tells you how much juice your battery is pulling right now π₯
πΈ NAME πΈ
ab8500_fg_inst_curr_blocking β battery instantaneous current π
β SYNOPSIS β
int ab8500_fg_inst_curr_blocking (struct ab8500_fg *di );
that's it. that's the whole vibe. one argument, one int coming back, no cap π«Ά
π ARGUMENTS π
diβ pointer to theab8500_fgstructure π that's the fuel-gauge thingy you're handing over so it can do its little measurement moment.
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so what does it do? it returns the battery's instantaneous current in microampere π yes microampere, tiny units, precise queen behaviour β¨
- on success β you get the instantaneous current, in microampere β
- on failure β you get an error code instead π not the number, just the sad little error
literally it's giving "trust me bestie, I'll either give you the current or I'll give you bad news, no in-between" π
π SEE ALSO π
okay this part is a whole friend group, buckle up π

like I said. huge friend group. they all live together in ./drivers/power/supply and honestly? iconic π
and that's the whole page bestie π«Ά source is ./drivers/power/supply, dated October 2026, manual page ab8500_fg_in...urr_blocking(9) β go forth and measure your current, mwah πβ¨πΈ
