STRUCT HWMON_CHANNEL_INFO(9)

✨ struct hwmon_channel_info(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this page is all about struct hwmon_channel_info — literally the little glow-up card that tells the hwmon subsystem what a sensor channel is and how to describe its per-channel bits. it's giving "backstage pass energy" 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct hwmon_channel_info — channel information, aka the moment your sensor channel finally gets an identity 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct hwmon_channel_info {
    enum hwmon_sensor_types type;
    const u32 *config;
 };

like, that's the whole struct, no cap — two members and it ate 🔥

---

👑 Members 👑

• type — the channel type. which flavor of sensor are we talking about, iykyk 🌈
• config — pointer to a NULL-terminated list of channel parameters. you use this for per-channel attributes ✨ (and yes, the NULL termination is the whole point — don't forget it, bestie 🙈)

---

🫶 SEE ALSO 🫶

• kernel file ./include/linux/hwmon.h — go read it, it's iconic 📖
• struct hwmon_ops(9)
• struct hwmon_chip_info(9)
• hwmon_is_bad_char(9)

---

💀 friendly reminder: config is a pointer to that NULL-terminated list — it's not the list itself, so don't be out here dereferencing and vibing on nothing 🧚

okay that's the whole page, you slayed it, go forth and describe your channels 🦋💖
