in_flight_show(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this manual page is in_flight_show(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally about the number of I/Os currently in flight 🌀✨. In most cases this will be either 0 or 1. It may be higher if someone has also issued other SCSI commands such as via an ioctl — no cap, that's the whole vibe check 💅.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ssize_t in_flight_show (struct device *dev , struct device_attribute
       *attr , char *buf );
