STRUCT COUNTER_ATTRIBUTE(9)

✨ NAME ✨

struct counter_attribute — the Counter sysfs attribute, bestie 💅 (yes this is page struct counter_attribute(9) of the Kernel API Manual, we're getting into it 🫶)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct counter_attribute {
    struct device_attribute dev_attr;
    struct list_head l;
    struct counter_comp comp;
    enum counter_scope scope;
    void *parent;
 };

okay so that's the whole shape of it, no cap ✨

🎀 Members 🎀

• dev_attr — the device attribute for sysfs. it's giving "this is how sysfs sees you" energy 💖
• l — the node that adds the Counter attribute to the attribute group list. lowkey just the linked-list hookup 🔗
• comp — the Counter component callbacks and data. all the actual personality lives here ⭐
• scope — the Counter scope of the attribute. type enum counter_scope, fyi 👑
• parent — a pointer to the parent component. void *, so it's mystery on purpose 🙈
