prb_rsp_limit_store(9)
π prb_rsp_limit_store(9) β a lil' kernel page, bestie
okay so first things first: this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and the function it's hyping up is called prb_rsp_limit_store. she's a store function, which means she's the write-side bestie for a sysfs attribute β in this case the attribute named prb_rsp_limit. think of her as the bouncer at the club door of a sysfs file, checking your ID (aka your buffer) before anything goes in. iconic behavior, honestly. π
β¨
β¨ NAME β¨
prb_rsp_limit_store β the Set function for the sysfs attribute prb_rsp_limit. yeah. that's her whole job. she sets. she stores. she slays. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
ssize_t prb_rsp_limit_store (struct device *dev , struct
device_attribute *attr , const char *buf , size_t count );
look at that signature. four params, one ssize_t coming back at ya. no cap, it's giving "standard sysfs store callback" and we love that for her. π¦
π«Ά ARGUMENTS π«Ά
devβ thestruct device. yes, thestruct device. she's the device this whole attribute situation belongs to. main character energy tbh. πattrβ device attributes. plural vibes, singular param. it's the attribute structure doing the bookkeeping. πbufβ the buffer that contains the new attribute value. this is where your shiny new value is living, lowkey just waiting to be read. πcountβ size of buffer. because bestie, you gotta know how much buffer you're working with. always. π₯
