lwmi_om_hwmon_is_visible(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is the lwmi_om_hwmon_is_visible(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ and it's literally about one job: determining visibility of HWMON attributes 💅. Like, should this HWMON attribute show up in sysfs or not? That's the whole main-character question.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

umode_t lwmi_om_hwmon_is_visible (const void *drvdata , enum
hwmon_sensor_types type , u32 attr , int channel );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• drvdata — driver private data. That's the driver's own little stash of context 🫶.
• type — sensor type. Which kind of sensor are we checking? 🌡️
• attr — attribute identifier. The specific attribute's ID, no cap.
• channel — channel index. Which channel we're on 🔢.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This function determines whether an HWMON attribute should be visible in sysfs, based on hardware capabilities and current configuration. It's giving vibe check for sysfs visibility ✨.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

It returns the permission mode, or 0 if invisible. So: permission mode = visible, 0 = not visible, periodt 💅.
