okay so ps3_start_probe_thread(9) — yes, from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — is literally the function that starts the background probe thread. That’s the whole vibe. ✨

int ps3_start_probe_thread (enum ps3_bus_type bus_type );

🧐 ARGUMENTS 🧐

• bus_type — the manual says -- undescribed --, so ngl we are not gonna invent lore. It’s an enum ps3_bus_type in the synopsis, and its description is a whole mystery. 💀
