get_load(9)

hey bestie 💖 welcome to get_load(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the manual name is folded right in here because we're cute like that. this page is literally about getting the load for a cpu, and it's lowkey iconic. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

get_load — get load for a cpu. 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so the signature is right here, character-for-character, bestie:

u32 get_load (struct cpufreq_cooling_device *cpufreq_cdev , int cpu ,
       int cpu_idx );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

here's the vibe check on each argument — don't skip these, fr fr:

• cpufreq_cdev — the struct cpufreq_cooling_device for the cpu. 🫶
• cpu — cpu number. 🔥
• cpu_idx — index of the cpu in time_in_idle array. ⭐

👑 RETURN 👑

the return value is the average load of cpu cpu in percentage since this function was last called. that's the whole tea ☕ — it's a percentage, and it's averaged since the last call, periodt. 💖
