reset_control_get_count(9)

💅 reset_control_get_count(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

okay so real quick, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's called reset_control_get_count — and no cap, it does exactly what the name says. It counts resets. That's the whole gig. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

reset_control_get_count — literally just counts how many resets are available with a device 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int reset_control_get_count (struct device *dev );

that's it. one function, one argument, one int. icon behavior. 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the device you want the reset count for. hand it over and it'll tell you how many resets are lurking in there. 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea: it returns the positive reset count on success. slay. ✨

but if something goes wrong — or if the count is literally zero — you get an error number back instead. so yeah, don't get it twisted: zero is not a success vibe here, it comes back as an error. 😭 ngl that's important, remember it.
