wdrtas_get_temperature(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the wdrtas_get_temperature(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this is the little group chat where the kernel tells you how warm it is.

✨ NAME ✨

wdrtas_get_temperature — returns current temperature 🌡️✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int wdrtas_get_temperature (void );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• void — no arguments 🫶 like, none. zero. the void is voiding.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so wdrtas_get_temperature returns the current temperature in Fahrenheit 🔥. it does this with the RTAS call get-sensor-state, token 3 — that's the whole little ritual, bestie.

and the official vibe is: returns temperature or <0 on failures 😭 so a normal temperature is the slay outcome, and anything less than zero is the failure era. no cap.

it's giving "small function, very specific job" and honestly we respect it 👑✨
