voltdm_get_voltage(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ voltdm_get_voltage πŸ’…

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual β€” section 9, kernel developer land 🧚 β€” and it's all about voltdm_get_voltage. it's short, it's sweet, and it literally just tells you what voltage a voltage domain is running at right now. no cap. πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

unsigned long voltdm_get_voltage (struct voltagedomain *voltdm );

that's it. one arg, one return. she's lowkey minimal and i respect it. ✨


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • voltdm β€” pointer to the voltdm whose current voltage info you're craving. like, hand her the domain and she'll tell you what's up πŸ’–

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

okay so this is the API to get the current non-auto-compensated voltage for a voltage domain. read that again: non-auto-compensated. that's the whole vibe of this function, bestie β€” don't forget it πŸ’…

it returns 0 in case of error, otherwise it returns the current voltage. that's the entire contract. iconic behaviour honestly πŸ‘‘

⚠️ heads up: 0 is the error signal here, so don't go reading a zero as "wow the voltage is zero, slay" β€” it's giving error, not data 😭

πŸ’œ SEE ALSO πŸ’œ

sibling functions in the kernel file ./arch/arm/mach-omap2/voltage.c β€” go say hi, they're all part of the same friend group 🫢


and that's the whole page, bestie β€” you ate that πŸ’…βœ¨ this lil gem lives in ./arch/arm/mach-omap2 (October 2026, Kernel API Manual, voltdm_get_voltage(9)) β€” go forth and read your voltages responsibly πŸŽ€πŸ’–πŸ¦‹
