ENUM W1_COMMANDS(9)

💅 enum w1_commands(9)

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ and it's all about enum w1_commands — literally the list of commands available for master or slave operations in the 1-Wire subsystem 🦋. yeah. we're doing kernel stuff today. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum w1_commands {
    W1_CMD_READ ,
    W1_CMD_WRITE ,
    W1_CMD_SEARCH ,
    W1_CMD_ALARM_SEARCH ,
    W1_CMD_TOUCH ,
    W1_CMD_RESET ,
    W1_CMD_SLAVE_ADD ,
    W1_CMD_SLAVE_REMOVE ,
    W1_CMD_LIST_SLAVES ,
    W1_CMD_MAX

};

that's the whole squad right there 👑 ten constants, zero drama.

🎀 Constants 🎀

okay now the fun part, let's meet every single one of these icons 💖

• W1_CMD_READ — reads len bytes. that's it, that's the vibe 🌸
• W1_CMD_WRITE — writes len bytes. the mirror twin of the one above, we love a symmetrical moment 💅
• W1_CMD_SEARCH — kicks off a standard search and returns only the slave devices that were found during that search 🔍 no extras, no plus-ones, iconic behavior honestly
• W1_CMD_ALARM_SEARCH — searches for devices that are currently alarming 😭🚨 like, are you okay babes? this finds them
• W1_CMD_TOUCH — touches a series of bytes 🫶 yes that's really the wording. it touches them. we don't ask questions
• W1_CMD_RESET — sends a bus reset on the given master ⚡ the "okay everybody calm down and restart" command
• W1_CMD_SLAVE_ADD — adds a slave to the given master, and lowkey important detail: the 8 byte slave id goes at data[0] 📍 don't forget it bestie
• W1_CMD_SLAVE_REMOVE — removes a slave to the given master (yes, the manpage says "to", we're keeping it exactly as written 😭), 8 byte slave id at data[0] again 🎯
• W1_CMD_LIST_SLAVES — gives you the list of slaves registered on this master 📋 literally the attendance sheet
• W1_CMD_MAX — the number of available commands 🔢 it's the "how many are there" counter, main character of the enum's tail end

ngl, every argument, every value, every little data[0] detail stays exactly where it was — the vibe got a glow-up, the facts did not 💜
