atcwdt_get_int_timer_type(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… atcwdt_get_int_timer_type β€” the kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to atcwdt_get_int_timer_type(9) β€” yes it's a mouthful, yes it's from the Kernel API Manual, and yes I'm gonna walk you through it like we're on FaceTime 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

atcwdt_get_int_timer_type β€” literally just gets you the supported interrupt timer type. that's the whole gig πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int atcwdt_get_int_timer_type (struct atcwdt_drv *drv_data );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • drv_data β€” a pointer to the watchdog driver data structure. like, the driver's whole personality in one struct, and you're handing it over πŸ”₯

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so what this function actually does: it goes and tests the writable bits in the IntTime field of the control register πŸ‘‘ and from that it figures out which interrupt timer type your hardware is out here supporting. it's giving detective energy, ngl. πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™€οΈβœ¨


πŸ’€ NOTE πŸ’€

🚨 bestie, listen to me: this function must only be called when the ATCWDT200 watchdog is disabled. if the watchdog is enabled, this function returns -EBUSY. no cap, it will straight up refuse. so check that watchdog first, okay? πŸ™ˆ

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success 😌
  • a negative error code on failure 😭
