πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– pdc_model_platform_info(9) πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ β€” yes this is a real man page for a real kernel function, and yes it's pdc_model_platform_info, and yes we're gonna get through it together 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

pdc_model_platform_info β€” literally just returns the machine's product number and serial number. That's it. That's the whole vibe πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

int pdc_model_platform_info (char *orig_prod_num , char
*current_prod_num , char *serial_no );

three char * args, one int coming back at you. no cap. ✨


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • orig_prod_num β€” the return buffer for the original product number, bestie. it's where the original one goes πŸŽ€
  • current_prod_num β€” the return buffer for the current product number. yes, they're different things, keep up 😌
  • serial_no β€” the return buffer for the serial number, iconic, no notes πŸ’œ

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so what it does is: it returns strings containing the original product number, the current product number, and the serial number of the system. all three, in string form, straight from the machine. it's giving ✨identity crisis but make it firmware✨ fr fr
