try_charger_enable(9)

💅 try_charger_enable — Kernel API Manual energy ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to the try_charger_enable(9) page from the Kernel API Manual. It's giving charger-control central, and we're keeping every deet intact. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

try_charger_enable — Enable/Disable chargers altogether. Periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int try_charger_enable (struct charger_manager *cm , bool enable );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• cm — the Charger Manager representing the battery. main character struct, honestly. 🔋
• enable — true: enable / false: disable. binary queen behavior. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so here's the vibe check: Charger Manager keeps the charger enabled regardless of whether the charger is charging or not — and yes, that includes when the battery is full or no external power source exists. It just stays enabled. No cap. 🫶

The exception? CM only disables chargers forcibly when emergency causes hit — specifically when the battery is overheated or too cold. That's the forcible-disable moment, bestie. 🥵🥶
