okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β yes, that's the manual name, we're not skipping it, it's part of the lore π . This one's a tiny little page about a tiny little function, and honestly? It's giving "underrated side character with main character energy."
β¨ NAME β¨
pc87413_open β
and that's it. That's the whole description. Not me staring at a blank line like π. The manpage literally trailed off with a dash and left us hanging. No cap, that's what's there.
π SYNOPSIS π
int pc87413_open (struct inode *inode , struct file *file );
Look at her. Two args, both pointers, returns an int. Classic. Iconic. Fr fr.
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
inodeβ the inode of device π yeah, the actual inode, the filesystem's little ID card for the thing. That's what gets handed over.fileβ the file handle to device πΈ like, the handle you get to poke at the device with.
That's the whole cast. Two arguments, no notes. π«Ά
π SEE ALSO π
okay so if you liked this one (and you did, don't lie), the whole friend group lives in the kernel source file ./drivers/watchdog/pc87413_wdt.c, and the squad is:

go read them, they're literally right there, iykyk π
real talk though β this page tells you the signature and the args and nothing else about behaviour, so don't go assuming stuff. Read the source. π§
and that's the whole vibe check, bestie! π this little gem comes to you from the ./drivers/watchdog corner of the kernel tree, dated October 2026, and it's filed under pc87413_open(9) β mwah, slay, periodt π
