genwqe_devnode(9) 💅✨

okay so this is genwqe_devnode(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's basically the vibe-setter for genwqe device permissions. bestie, it's short but iconic. 🎀

NAME 🦋

genwqe_devnode — set the default access mode for genwqe devices. periodt.

SYNOPSIS 🌸

char * genwqe_devnode (const struct device *dev , umode_t *mode );

ARGUMENTS 💖

• dev — pointer to device, and lowkey it's unused. no notes, it just vibes there.
• mode — carrier to pass-back given mode (permissions). yes bestie, this is where the permission mode gets handed back. 🫶

DESCRIPTION 🔥

The default mode should be rw for everybody — not just the cool kids, literally everybody. 💅

🚨 Do not change the default device name. that's the rule, no cap. changing it is not giving main character energy, it's giving chaos. 😭
