wdt_temp_read(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, this is wdt_temp_read(9) straight out of the Kernel API Manual — let’s go 💅

wdt_temp_read -

And yes, the NAME line is literally just the function name plus a dash — no extra summary blurb here, periodt. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ssize_t wdt_temp_read (struct file *file , char __user *buf , size_t
       count , loff_t *ptr );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• file — file handle to the watchdog board 🫶
• buf — buffer to write 1 byte into ✨
• count — length of buffer
• ptr — offset (no seek allowed) 🙈

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So Temp_read reports the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. The API is in farenheit — yes, that’s the spelling the page uses the second time, bestie, iykyk 😭. It was designed by an imperial measurement luddite. Iconic, honestly. 👑
