💅 bootflag_show(9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so like, hi, welcome to the bootflag_show(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ it's literally a tiny little sysfs show function and honestly it's giving "small but mighty" 💖 let's get into it.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

bootflag_show — the get function for the sysfs attribute bootflag 🫶 lowkey does exactly what it says on the tin.

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

ssize_t bootflag_show (struct device *dev , struct device_attribute
*attr , char *buf );

no cap, that's the whole signature 💅 notice it returns a ssize_t — that's how many bytes it wrote into the buffer, iykyk.

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the struct device 👑 this is the device structure itself, the main character of the call.
• attr — device attributes 🎀 aka the struct device_attribute that's being shown.
• buf — buffer where data will be returned 🌸 like, this is where the output actually lands. it's a char * and yes you have to be nice to it.
