pending_reboot_show(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the pending_reboot_show(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this is the sysfs implementaton for read pending_reboot. it’s giving kernel-attribute realness, and we’re gonna get through it together 🫶💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• kobj — the kernel object for this attribute, iykyk 🫶
• attr — the kernel object attribute, iconic little metadata moment 🎀
• buf — the buffer to display to userspace, periodt ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here’s the vibe: it stores the default value as 0 🫧. When current_value is changed, this attribute is set to 1 to notify that a reboot may be required 🔥. that’s the whole notification situation, no cap 💅
