📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME

amdgpu_debugfs_sensor_read — ok so this is the little guy that reads from the powerplay sensors ✨

(Also hiiii, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, welcome to the group chat 🫶)

🎀 SYNOPSIS

ssize_t amdgpu_debugfs_sensor_read (struct file *f , char __user *buf ,
size_t size , loff_t *pos );

🌸 ARGUMENTS

  • f — the open file handle, bestie. it's giving "here's my ticket, let me in" 🎟️
  • buf — User buffer to store read data in. this is where the good stuff lands 💖
  • size — Number of bytes to read. like how much you're ordering off the menu 🍓
  • pos — Offset to seek to. literally your little "scuse me, scooting to here" position 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION

So the offset? It's treated as the BYTE address of one of the sensors enumerated in amd/include/kgd_pp_interface.h under the — and I'm quoting this girl verbatim because she said what she said — you would use the offset 3 * 4 = 12.

ngl that sentence trails off mid-thought 😭 but that's exactly what the page says, so we are NOT improvising, periodt. What you get is what you get 💀
