💤 pm_get_wakeup_count(9) 💤

okay bestie, gather round, because we're diving into the Kernel API Manual and today's main character is pm_get_wakeup_count — yes she's from the kernel API manual, yes she's iconic, no we're not skipping her ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

pm_get_wakeup_count — literally just reads the number of registered wakeup events for you. that's her whole thing. that's the assignment and she ate 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool pm_get_wakeup_count (unsigned int *count , bool block );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • count — the address where you want the value stored. like, hand her a spot in memory and she'll put the number there, no cap 🫶
  • block — whether or not to block. yes that's the whole description, she's a simple girlie 🙈

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea: she stores the number of registered wakeup events at the address in count. simple, clean, gorgeous 💖

and if block is set? she will block until the current number of wakeup events being processed is zero. like she's not moving until the vibes are settled, periodt ⭐

she returns 'false' if the current number of wakeup events being processed is nonzero. otherwise she returns 'true'. that's it, that's the whole vibe check 👑
