💅 intel_th_trace_enable(9)

Okay so bestie, quick vibe check: this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel has a manual, she's iconic), and it's all about one tiny function that turns tracing on for an output device. That's the whole plot. Let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

intel_th_trace_enable — enable tracing for an output device 🦋

Like, it literally just asks the device "hey girl, can we start tracing now?" and the answer is yes. Slay.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int intel_th_trace_enable (struct intel_th_device *thdev );

Returns an int, takes one pointer, no cap. She's simple, she's clean, she's lowkey doing her job.

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • thdev — the output device that's requesting tracing be enabled 👑 That's it. That's the whole parameter list. She's the main character, she's the one asking for the glow-up, and honestly? Obsessed.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

The kernel source file where the magic happens, for anyone brave enough to read it (iykyk):

  • Kernel file ./drivers/hwtracing/intel_th/core.c

And her besties, the whole friend group:

Ngl, intel_th_trace_disable(9) is giving "the friend who tells you to go to bed" energy 😭 but she's necessary, fr fr.

Anyway bestie, that's the whole page — go enable some tracing, you absolute legend. 🧚
