wdt_get_temperature(9)

💖 wdt_get_temperature(9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the wdt_get_temperature(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's a short one. iconic. let's read it together. 🫶✨

---

💖 NAME 💖

wdt_get_temperature - — that's the whole NAME line in the original, bestie. the bit after the dash is empty, and we are not inventing a description. periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the function signature is literally giving:

int wdt_get_temperature (void );

that's it. no extra sauce. 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• void — no arguments. not a single one. the function takes nothing and that's her main character energy. 😌

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so wdt_get_temperature() reports the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. yes, Fahrenheit. and the API is in farenheit — spelling preserved from the original, don't come for me, it's part of the lore. 🍓

the original also says it was designed by an imperial measurement luddite. no cap, that's the note. Fahrenheit API, imperial-measurement-luddite designer, and we respect the chaos. 🔥
