libie_debugfs_enable_write(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… libie_debugfs_enable_write β€” the kernel API manual, bestie edition ✨

Okay so like… hi. Welcome to the libie_debugfs_enable_write(9) page from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, obviously, we're in the grown-up kernel docs). This is the write side of the enable file and she's doing exactly one job: letting userspace write into that file. Iconic, honestly. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

libie_debugfs_enable_write β€” write into the 'enable' file 🫢

Periodt. That's the whole vibe. If you came here looking for the read girlie, she's got her own page (scroll down to SEE ALSO, babes).


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ssize_t libie_debugfs_enable_write (struct file *filp , const char
       __user *buf , size_t count , loff_t *ppos );

Look at her. Four arguments, returns a ssize_t, that's the classic write-handler silhouette πŸ’… β€” she's literally serving file-operations energy. Standard, no cap.


πŸ’– ARGUMENTS πŸ’–

Bestie, let's meet the cast 🧚:

  • filp β€” the opened file. Like, the file that got opened. That one. She's the main character here. πŸ‘‘
  • buf β€” where to find the user's data. It's const char __user *, so it's the user's side of the pool and you lowkey can't just dereference it however you want, iykyk. πŸ¦‹
  • count β€” the length of the user's data. A size_t, so she's a big girl and she's unsigned. 🌈
  • ppos β€” file position offset. It's a loff_t *, so it's a pointer to where we are in the file. Classic. ⭐
Not me being obsessed with the fact that all four of these are just handed to you by the VFS. You didn't have to do anything. She just arrives. 😭

The whole group chat, in the order the original ordered them (don't come for me, I'm being faithful πŸ’€):

Yup, that's twenty-four of them. I counted. Don't test me. πŸ“


And that's the page! πŸ’œ

Cute little sign-off for the girlies who read to the bottom: this one comes to you from the source ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/l... (yes, the line was truncated in the original, and yes, I'm keeping it exactly like that β€” character for character, bestie, that's the rule πŸ™ˆ), dated October 2026, and she is filed under libie_debugfs_enable_write(9) in the Kernel API Manual. Slay. πŸ’…βœ¨
