πŸ’… armoury_attr_uint_show(9)

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and honestly? she's a lil legend. we're talking about armoury_attr_uint_show β€” the function whose whole job is receiving an uint from a WMI method. that's it. that's her vibe. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

armoury_attr_uint_show β€” Receive an uint from a WMI method.

like, you hand her a WMI method and she hands you back a lil unsigned int. no cap, that's the whole thing. πŸ¦‹


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ssize_t armoury_attr_uint_show (struct kobject *kobj , struct kobj_attribute *attr , char *buf , u32 wmi_dev );

that's the signature bestie, copy it exactly, don't @ me πŸ’…


πŸ’– ARGUMENTS πŸ’–

  • kobj β€” Pointer to the driver object. yes she needs to know which driver we're talking about, main character energy fr fr πŸ‘‘
  • attr β€” Pointer to the attribute calling this function. it's giving "who invited me here" but like, in a useful way 🫢
  • buf β€” The buffer to write to, as an uint type. this is where the output goes, okay? write it down. literally. 😭
  • wmi_dev β€” The WMI function ID to use. the actual method we're calling, iconic ⭐

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so the whole point of this function is that it's generic β€” intentionally! she's built so she can be called from any "_show" attribute that works only with integers. that's the niche. that's the assignment. and she ate. πŸ”₯

no extra drama, no special casing for one weird driver, just a reusable little show-attribute helper. iykyk πŸ’œ


🌈 RETURN 🌈

Either count, or an error.

that's it. two outcomes. slay or fail. no in-between, periodt πŸ’€


πŸŽ€ SEE ALSO πŸŽ€

  • Kernel file ./drivers/platform/x86/asus-armoury.h
  • armoury_attr_uint_store(9) β€” the other half of the duo, go read her too πŸ‘€

ngl bestie, if you're poking at the show side you definitely want the store side too. they're a matching set. πŸ“
