💅 ds1685_indirect_write — the Kernel API Manual page, bestie edition ✨

okay so you found the manpage for ds1685_indirect_write(9) and you're like "what does this even do" — don't worry, i got you 🫶 it lives in the Kernel API Manual and it is literally just one little function that writes a value to an rtc register. tiny function, big main character energy 👑

---

✨ NAME ✨

ds1685_indirect_write — write a value to an rtc register. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ds1685_indirect_write (struct ds1685_priv *rtc , int reg , u8 value
);

it returns nothing (void), so like… no feedback, no confetti, it just does the thing and dips 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• rtc — pointer to the ds1685 rtc structure. your whole chip's little personality file, basically 🌈
• reg — the register address you're writing to. like picking which drawer in the filing cabinet, yk? 🗄️
• value — the value to write to the register. type u8, so keep it cozy in that 8-bit range bestie 💖
