okay so bestie, welcome to the pm_qos_read_value page — it lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel-space girlies only 💅) and honestly? it's a little one. a tiny little icon. but she's important, so let's give her main character energy anyway ✨

pm_qos_read_value — returns the current effective constraint value. that's it. that's the whole job. she reads, she returns, she leaves. no cap 🎀

literally just hand her a pointer and she hands you back an s32. simple as 🫶
