proc_show_pdrv(9)
π proc_show_pdrv β a little field guide from the Kernel API Manual
okay so bestie, welcome to proc_show_pdrv(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9 π this one's short and sweet β like, actually short β so let's not drag it out. here's everything, no cap.
β¨ NAME β¨
proc_show_pdrv β
yeah. that's it. that's the name line π the original leaves the description part blank, and honestly? iconic of it. we're not gonna invent lore that isn't there. moving on π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
int proc_show_pdrv (struct seq_file *m , adapter_t *adapter , int
channel );
look at her go β a plain int return, three args, no drama π¦
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ
mβ the synthetic file construction data. this is thestruct seq_file *doing the seq_file thing, holding all the stuff needed to build that fake little file π«Άadapterβ pointer to our soft state. our soft state, bestie, the adapter's own squishy state blob πchannelβ the channel. just... the channel. anint. that's the whole description, and we respect the honesty β¨
π DESCRIPTION π
Display information about the physical drives.
that's the entire description, fr fr β it prints the info about the physical drives and then it's done. no extra caveats, no secret behaviour, no nothing. lowkey refreshing π

okay real talk: every flag, name, path and number above is verbatim from the page. the vibes are mine, the facts are hers π
and that's the whole page, bestie β short king energy π this cutie came from ./drivers/scsi, dated October 2026, and she files herself under proc_show_pdrv(9). go forth and read your physical drive info ππβ
