pdcs_auto_read(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is pdcs_auto_read(9) from the Kernel API Manual — and the NAME situation is literally pdcs_auto_read — Stable Storage autoboot/search flag output. that’s the whole assignment, no cap. slay. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature, verbatim, because code is sacred in this group chat:

ssize_t pdcs_auto_read (struct kobject *kobj , struct kobj_attribute
       *attr , char *buf , int knob );

that’s the whole synopsis. it’s giving kernel API, fr fr. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• kobj — the kobject used to share data with userspace. literally the userspace-sharing kobject, bestie. 🫶
• attr — the kobject attributes. that’s it, that’s the lore. 🎀
• buf — the output buffer to write to. the output goes here; no extra plot twists. ✨
• knob — the PF_AUTOBOOT or PF_AUTOSEARCH flag. one of those two flags, periodt. 🦋
