πŸ’– eurwdt_write(9) πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β€” this is the page for eurwdt_write(9), and we're gonna get you comfy with it. No cap, it's a short one. πŸ’…

πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

eurwdt_write -

yep, that's the whole NAME line, bestie β€” no secret subtitle, no extra lore. 😭

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       ssize_t eurwdt_write (struct file *file , const char __user *buf ,
       size_t count , loff_t *ppos );

🫢 ARGUMENTS 🫢

  • file β€” the file handle for the watchdog. πŸ’–
  • buf β€” buffer to write; it's unused here because the data does not matter. 🫠
  • count β€” count of bytes.
  • ppos β€” pointer to the position to write. No seeks allowed β€” periodt. 🚫

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

okay so a write to a watchdog device is literally defined as a keepalive signal. Any write of data will do, because we don't define content meaning here β€” the content is not the main character, the keepalive is. ✨
