💖 bq25703_get_cur(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is bq25703_get_cur(9) — yes it's a mouthful, yes it ate, let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

bq25703_get_cur — get the reported current from the battery 🪫

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int bq25703_get_cur (struct bq257xx_chg *pdata , int *intval );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• pdata — the driver platform data. your main character struct 🫶
• intval — the value of the reported battery current, aka where the number lands 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So what does it do? It reads the reported current from the battery. That's it, that's the vibe. 🔥

But here's the little plot twist 👀 — the value it reads is always positive. So if the battery is discharging, the sign gets set to negative. Not me flipping signs for accuracy 😭 iconic behaviour fr fr.

⭐ RETURN ⭐

It returns 0 on success. If it can't read the value, you get an error back instead — no fake success here, we don't do that 💀
