int_type_show(9)

💖 int_type_show(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay so bestie, this one lives in the Kernel API Manual section 9, and it's called int_type_show — and yes, before you ask, it's exactly what it sounds like: it shows the type of an integer attribute. That's the whole gig. Iconic, honestly. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

int_type_show — emit the data type for an integer attribute

like… it prints out what kind of integer-ish thing this attribute is. that's it. that's the function. no cap. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ssize_t int_type_show (struct kobject *kobj , struct kobj_attribute
*kattr , char *buf );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• kobj — pointer to the driver object. you know, the driver's whole little identity. 🫶
• kattr — pointer to the attribute that's calling this function. the one sliding into your DMs, basically.
• buf — the buffer to write to. this is where the output goes, so be nice to it. ✨

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Number of characters written to buf. that's it — a count. literally just counting how many chars made it into the buffer. fr fr. 🔥
