💅 ds1685_rtc_proc — the kernel manual, but make it cute

---

✨ NAME ✨

ds1685_rtc_proc — the procfs access function. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's giving "small function, big responsibility" honestly 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ds1685_rtc_proc (struct device *dev , struct seq_file *seq );

like look at her. two args, returns an int, absolute main character energy 🔥

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — a pointer to the device structure. she's the one holding the hardware context, iykyk 🫶
• seq — a pointer to the seq_file structure. this is the procfs-side bestie that actually carries the output 🎀

ngl there are only two of them so if you get these mixed up that's fully on you 💀

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay so this is the part where we shout out the whole friend group. the kernel file is ./drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1685.c and honestly she's the one holding everybody together ✨
