board_tracer_show(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is the board_tracer_show(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and the name is right there: board_tracer_show — board tracer number. that’s the whole name, periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ssize_t board_tracer_show (struct device *cdev , struct device_attribute
       *attr , char *buf );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cdev — pointer to embedded class device. she’s the device bestie in this situation 🫶
• attr — ? ... yes literally just a question mark in the source, iconic mystery behavior 😭
• buf — the buffer returned. that’s the whole job, no cap 🌸

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so board_tracer_show is a sysfs 'read-only' shost attribute. that’s the vibe, that’s the description, and I’m not adding extra lore because the page didn’t say more 🦋✨
