📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💫 pm8001_ctl_h...address_show 💫

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes this is a real one, and yes the title got cut off with ... like a text message that ran out of characters 😭 (the full name is pm8001_ctl_host_sas_address_show, and it lives in section 9).

🎀 NAME 🎀

pm8001_ctl_host_sas_address_show — sas address, that's the whole vibe 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ssize_t pm8001_ctl_host_sas_address_show (struct device *cdev , struct
       device_attribute *attr , char *buf );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • cdev — pointer to embedded class device 💖 like, this is the device we're talking about
  • attr — device attribute (unused) 🫶 not me showing up to the function and contributing nothing, love that for you
  • buf — the buffer returned 🌈 this is where the good stuff goes

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

This is the controller sas address. that's it. that's the whole description. short and iconic 👑

It's a sysfs 'read-only' shost attribute — so no, you can't write to it, bestie, it's not that kind of attribute 🙈 read-only means read-only, periodt.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Kernel file ./drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_ctl.c — the actual source, go read it iykyk 📖

and that's the whole page, bestie 🧚💜 mwah 💋

sign-off szn: this one's from ./drivers/scsi/pm8001, dated October 2026, and yes the footer also just says pm8001_ctl_h...address_show(9) again because the title was too long to fit and honestly relatable 💀

slay, go read your sysfs attributes responsibly ⭐👑
