thermal_zone_get_temp(9)

💅 thermal_zone_get_temp(9) 💅

okay so bestie, you're in the Kernel API Manual and this page is literally about thermal_zone_get_temp(9) — she's a little function that tells you how hot a thermal zone is. no cap, that's the whole gig. 🌡️✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

thermal_zone_get_temp — bestie, she returns the temperature of a thermal zone, that's it, that's the job 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int thermal_zone_get_temp (struct thermal_zone_device *tz , int *temp );

like look at her, so clean, so iconic 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• tz — a valid pointer to a struct thermal_zone_device. yes, valid, we mean it, don't be messy with this one 🙈
• temp — a valid pointer to where to store the resulting temperature. she's your output spot, hand her a real address please 💖

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so when you pass in a valid thermal zone reference, she will fetch its temperature and fill temp for you. that's the vibe check: valid zone in, temperature out, everybody slays 💅

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

On success she returns 0. otherwise you get an error code — not a vibe, but at least she's honest about it 😭

okay that's the whole page bestie, go forth and read those temps 👑✨

shoutout to ./drivers/thermal for hosting her, and to October 2026 for the timestamp — she's dated, she's sourced, she's iconic 🎀🦋💜
