💖 ixgbe_add_hwmon_attr(9) — Kernel API Manual energy 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ixgbe_add_hwmon_attr(9), straight from the Kernel API Manual. This one is all about making a hwmon attr table for a hwmon sysfs file, and yes, it's giving very specific kernel-helper main character energy ✨

🌸 NAME

ixgbe_add_hwmon_attr — Create hwmon attr table for a hwmon sysfs file.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS

int ixgbe_add_hwmon_attr (struct ixgbe_adapter *adapter , unsigned int
       offset , int type );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS

• adapter — pointer to the adapter structure 🫶
• offset — offset in the eeprom sensor data table 👀
• type — type of sensor data to display 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION

So for each file we want in hwmon's sysfs interface, we need a device_attribute. That device_attribute is included in our hwmon_attr struct, and that struct contains the references to the data structures we need to get the data to display. literally the whole little pipeline for showing sensor data, no cap 💖
