pm_request_resume(9)

🌸 pm_request_resume — the manual page, bestie edition 🌸

Okay so real quick, before we get into it: this whole thing is from pm_request_resume(9) in the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally about queueing up a runtime-resume of a device. That's it. That's the whole vibe. Short page, iconic energy, no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

pm_request_resume — Queue up runtime-resume of a device. 🫶

Like, you're not resuming it right now this second, bestie — you're putting it in the queue. Think "added to the group chat" not "already replied". Lowkey the whole point of the function.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int pm_request_resume (struct device *dev );

Yes that's the whole thing. One line. She's minimal. She's clean. She ate. ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — Target device. That's the one you're queueing the resume for, bestie. Your main character device. 👑

Not me running out of arguments to describe because there's literally only one 🫶 — that's the whole function signature right there.

🌈 And that's the page, bestie 🌈

No DESCRIPTION, no OPTIONS, no EXIT STATUS, no BUGS — she's a short queen and we respect that. 💜 What you see is what you get, iykyk.

Cute little sign-off for the credits, because the footer deserves its moment too: this one lives in the ./include/linux directory, it's from the Kernel API Manual, and it's dated October 2026. Slay. 🎀🦋⭐
