STRUCT HWMON_PMU_EVENT_VALUE(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 bestie, and today's main character is struct hwmon_pmu_event_value — literally just Value in hwmon_pmu->events. no cap, that's the whole vibe 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the struct in all its iconic glory, copy it exactly or it's not giving:

struct hwmon_pmu_event_value {
    unsigned long items[BITS_TO_LONGS( HWMON_ITEM__MAX)];
    unsigned long alarm_items[BITS_TO_LONGS( HWMON_ITEM__MAX)];
    char *label;
    char *name;
 };

🎀 MEMBERS 🎀

• items — tells you which item files are present. that's it, that's the job 🫶
• alarm_items — also tells you which item files are present. yes literally the same description as items, don't come for me, I'm just the messenger 😭
• label — holds the contents of <type><number>_label if present. key words: if present 🙈
• name — the name computed from label of the form <type>_<label>. so it's derived, it's giving glow-up from label ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the lore: hwmon files are of the form <type><number>_<item> and may have a suffix _alarm. that's the whole pattern, periodt 💖
