counter_add(9)

🎀 counter_add(9) 🎀

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — this is the page for counter_add, and it’s literally about complete registration of a counter. no cap, that’s the whole vibe. ✨

💖 NAME 💖

counter_add — complete registration of a counter 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int counter_add (struct counter_device *counter );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• counter — the counter to add. that’s it, that’s the argument 💅

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so this is part two of counter registration. part two!! like the sequel, the encore, the second half of the registration arc. 🔥

if this succeeds, call counter_unregister to get rid of the counter_device again. literally the cleanup bestie — success means you’ve got a registered counter, and counter_unregister is how you undo that later. 🧹✨
