💖 ds1685_read(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to ds1685_read(9) — a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and honestly it's giving "small but mighty." This is the little function that goes and fetches a byte out of an rtc register for you, and like… that's it. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ds1685_read — read a value from an rtc register.

No cap, that's literally the entire job. It reads one value. One. From a register. Slay.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u8 ds1685_read (struct ds1685_priv *rtc , int reg );

Look at it. Iconic. A u8 coming back out, two args going in. Chef's kiss. 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• rtc — pointer to the ds1685 rtc structure. That's your main character struct right there, bestie — it's the thing holding all the ds1685 context together. 🫶
• reg — the register address to read. Like, the exact spot you're pointing at. You want the byte from here, you pass this. 📍
