bq25792_get_cur(9)

💖 bq25792_get_cur — get the reported current from the battery 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a tiny little function but it's literally carrying the whole "how much juice is flowing" vibe check for your battery. no cap.

🎀 NAME 🎀

bq25792_get_cur — Get the reported current from the battery

like, the battery. the current. it's giving "tell me what's happening in there" 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int bq25792_get_cur (struct bq257xx_chg *pdata , int *intval );

that's it. two args. slay. 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• pdata — the driver platform data 🧚 (yeah, the whole charger situation lives in here)
• intval — a pointer where we're gonna stash the battery current value 🍓

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what it does: it reads the current ADC value straight from the device — the one that represents the battery's charge or discharge current — and hands it back to you in microamps. 🔥

that's the whole plot. no plot twists. it's just reading the ADC and converting the vibe into microamps for you. iconic.

---

💜 RETURN 💜

• Returns 0 on success ✨
• or an error on failure to read 😭 (like if the read just did not happen, that's a fail, fr fr)

💀 reminder that intval is a pointer — if you hand over garbage, that's on you, not on the function. pass a real int you actually own, mkay? 🙈
