write_cnt_show(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so first things first: this is the write_cnt_show(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and we're starting with NAME because we're organized like that ✨. write_cnt_show is literally the write count — the number of user calls to write(2) that have written data to tape. That's the whole vibe, no cap 💅.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Bestie, here's the signature in all its exact glory — do not touch the spacing, she's sensitive 😭:

ssize_t write_cnt_show (struct device *dev , struct device_attribute *attr , char *buf );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — a struct device, periodt.
• attr — the attribute structure, iconic as always.
• buf — the buffer to return formatted data in 🫶.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Okay so the SEE ALSO girlies are all here, no cap. First up, the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/st.c, then:

• scsi_tape_release(9)
• position_lost_in_reset_show(9)
• read_cnt_show(9)
• read_byte_cnt_show(9)
• read_ns_show(9)
• write_byte_cnt_show(9)
• write_ns_show(9)
• in_flight_show(9)
• io_ns_show(9)
• other_cnt_show(9)
• resid_cnt_show(9)

And that's the page, bestie 🎀. Cute little sign-off for the footer: source/version is ./drivers/scsi, dated October 2026, and this whole thing is write_cnt_show(9) — periodt 💅✨.
