💖 ab8500_fg_is_low_curr(9) 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the kernel, the big one — and it's all about one tiny little function called ab8500_fg_is_low_curr. pull up a chair, we're getting into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ab8500_fg_is_low_curr — low or high current mode, that's the whole vibe check 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ab8500_fg_is_low_curr (struct ab8500_fg *di , int curr_ua );

like, that's the whole signature. she's little. she's mighty. iconic ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • di — pointer to the ab8500_fg structure 🫶 like, this is the fuel-gauge friend we're asking about
  • curr_ua — the current to base our decision on, in microampere ⚡ (yes, the manpage literally says "to base or our decision on" — we love a typo moment, no cap, it means our decision)

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea: this function answers the question "are we in low current mode?" — and the answer is yes if the current consumption is below a certain threshold 💀 that's it. that's the whole rule. below the threshold = low current mode. simple, clean, slay.

ngl, the threshold is referred to but never spelled out here, so don't go inventing a number for it, bestie 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the main character file itself: Kernel file ./drivers/power/supply/ab8500_fg.c struct 🎀 and then — hold on — the entire extended friend group:

like, that's the whole group chat. every single one. iykyk 🧚

and that's the page, bestie!! 🍓 this cutie lives in ./drivers/power/supply, dated October 2026, and it's serving ab8500_fg_is_low_curr(9) realness from the Kernel API Manual. mwah 💜✨
