💖 pm_schedule_suspend(9) 💖

hiii bestie!! welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this page is literally all about pm_schedule_suspend, aka the “suspend later, not rn” button. no cap, it's giving timer energy ✨

💅 NAME 💅

pm_schedule_suspend — Set up a timer to submit a suspend request in future. yep, that's the whole vibe: you're scheduling the suspension for later instead of doing it immediately 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the literal signature, no edits, no vibes-based rewriting:

int pm_schedule_suspend (struct device *dev , unsigned int delay );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — Device to suspend. it's the main character getting put on snooze duty 💅
• delay — Time to wait before submitting a suspend request, in milliseconds. so this is the “how long do we wait before the suspend request gets submitted” number ⏳
