voltdm_get_voltage(9)
β¨ voltdm_get_voltage π
okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual β section 9, kernel developer land π§ 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. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
unsigned long voltdm_get_voltage (struct voltagedomain *voltdm );
that's it. one arg, one return. she's lowkey minimal and i respect it. β¨
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
voltdmβ pointer to the voltdm whose current voltage info you're craving. like, hand her the domain and she'll tell you what's up π
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
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 π
it returns 0 in case of error, otherwise it returns the current voltage. that's the entire contract. iconic behaviour honestly π
β οΈ 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 π
π SEE ALSO π
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 π«Ά
