prb_rsp_limit_store(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… 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. πŸ’…βœ¨


✨ NAME ✨

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. πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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. πŸ¦‹


🫢 ARGUMENTS 🫢

  • dev β€” the struct device. yes, the struct device. she's the device this whole attribute situation belongs to. main character energy tbh. πŸ‘‘
  • attr β€” device attributes. plural vibes, singular param. it's the attribute structure doing the bookkeeping. πŸŽ€
  • buf β€” the buffer that contains the new attribute value. this is where your shiny new value is living, lowkey just waiting to be read. πŸ“
  • count β€” size of buffer. because bestie, you gotta know how much buffer you're working with. always. πŸ”₯

bestie note: show is read, store is write. don't mix 'em up or it's gonna be awkward at the function family reunion. πŸ™ˆ
