pdcs_osdep1_read(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 pdcs_osdep1_read — bestie, it's a read function

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the kernel API girlies 🧚) and it's all about pdcs_osdep1_read. She's short, she's sweet, she does one tiny job, and honestly? She ate. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ssize_t pdcs_osdep1_read (struct kobject *kobj , struct kobj_attribute
*attr , char *buf );

Look at her go. Three args, one ssize_t return, zero drama. 🎀

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • kobj — the kobject used to share data with userspace. Like, this is the little bridge between kernel world and user world, bestie, and she's the main character of that bridge. 🔥
  • attr — the kobject attributes. The vibes that hang off the kobject, basically. 💅
  • buf — the output buffer to write to. This is where the data goes, no cap — it's the destination, the moment, the whole point. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So basically, this can hold 16 bytes of OS-Dependent data. That's it. Sixteen. Bytes. 🍓

Not 15, not 17. Sixteen bytes of OS-Dependent data. Respect the limit or the vibe check will find you. 😭

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

Obsessed with the friend group?? Here's the whole squad, and they all live in the kernel file ./drivers/parisc/pdc_stable.c 📁:

Twenty-four icons. Iconic behavior only. 🌈💜

💀 real talk: this page is the whole page. There's no extra warning section, no bugs section, no author block. What you see is what you get. Don't go looking for lore that isn't there. 🙈

okay and finally, the sign-off moment 🎬 — this page comes from ./drivers/parisc, dated October 2026, and it's filed under pdcs_osdep1_read(9) in the Kernel API Manual. Slay, periodt. 💅🎀🦋
