💖 sht15_temp_show(9) — Kernel API Manual vibes 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the sht15_temp_show(9) page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's short and sweet and honestly kind of iconic for how much it does with so little 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

sht15_temp_show — shows off the temperature measurement value in sysfs, no cap 🔥

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ssize_t sht15_temp_show (struct device *dev , struct device_attribute
*attr , char *buf );

like, that's the whole signature, that's the assignment 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • dev — the device. that's it, that's the whole description, she's a device and we respect her 🫶
  • attr — the device attribute. also extremely brief. main character energy with zero elaboration ✨
  • buf — the sysfs buffer, and this is the one where the measurement values actually get written to 📝 literally the whole point of the function lives here.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the kernel will call this lil function whenever someone does a read access on the temp1_input sysfs attribute 👀 that's the vibe check that triggers the whole thing.

It returns the number of bytes written into the buffer, and if something goes sideways it returns a negative errno instead 😭 so like — success gives you a byte count, failure gives you a sad little negative number. that's the contract, periodt.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

if you're the kind of person who goes down the rabbit hole (and honestly? same 🙈), here's the whole friend group:

Kernel file ./drivers/hwmon/sht15.c, plus:

okay that's the whole page bestie, ily, go read some sysfs 💖✨
