💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

• attr_type — the attribute type you wanna initialize. like, which flavor of attribute are we setting up today, bestie? 🍓

okay so here's the tea: this function initializes all 5 types of attributes, and the list is iconic:

• enumeration
• integer
• string
• password

five. count 'em. five 💅🔥

and what does it do with them? it populates each attribute type's respective properties under sysfs files — so all that good good lands where sysfs can see it. main character behavior, honestly 🫶
