wdtpci_ping(9)

🌸 wdtpci_ping(9) 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual page for wdtpci_ping — yes that's the manual name, it's a whole section 9 situation, we're in kernel-land now, buckle up 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

wdtpci_ping —

so like… the original literally leaves this blank after the dash. that's it. that's the name section. no description. nothing. it's giving mysterious main character energy 💅 (iykyk)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int wdtpci_ping (void );

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• void — no arguments. not one. zero. the void is voiding. 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so what does it actually do? it reloads counter one with the watchdog heartbeat. literally that's the whole vibe. 🔥

and the kicker — we don't bother reloading the cascade counter. nope. not doing it. not our problem. we simply do not ✨participate✨ in cascade counter reloading around here 😭
