copy_scratchpad(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 copy_scratchpad — a whole kernel API manual, bestie

okay so this is copy_scratchpad(9), a Kernel API Manual page, and honestly? it's giving "small function, big responsibilities." the way that it just copies the content of the scratchpad into the device EEPROM... iconic. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

copy_scratchpad — Copy the content of scratchpad in device EEPROM

like literally what it says on the tin, bestie. scratchpad in, EEPROM out. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int copy_scratchpad (struct w1_slave *sl );

that's the whole signature. short, sweet, and lowkey serving main character energy. 💜

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • sl — slave involved. yep, that's it. the slave is involved. it said "i'm part of this." 💀

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 if success 🎉 — we love a zero, zero is the happy number, no notes
  • -kernel error code otherwise 😭 — so like, if it doesn't work you get a negative kernel error code back. not a vibe, but at least it's honest

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay buckle up, this list is LONG and we are NOT skipping a single one, bestie. the original said look at all of these so we're looking at all of these, fr fr. 👑

first up, the kernel file:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/w1/slaves/w1_therm.c struct

then the whole friend group:

like, that's the entire group chat and every single one got a shoutout. we ate. 💅✨

and that's the page, bestie! no cap, every single reference made it in. go read them, iykyk. 🌸

🧚 and before you go — this lil page lives in ./drivers/w1/slaves, and it's dated October 2026, and yes it's literally called copy_scratchpad(9) in case you forgot already. mwah, bye! 💖🎀🦋
