Annotated Snippet
What: /sys/class/watchdog/watchdogn/bootstatus
Date: August 2015
Contact: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
Description:
It is a read only file. It contains status of the watchdog
device at boot. It is equivalent to WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS of
ioctl interface.
What: /sys/class/watchdog/watchdogn/options
Date: April 2023
Contact: Thomas Weißschuh
Description:
It is a read only file. It contains options of watchdog device.
What: /sys/class/watchdog/watchdogn/fw_version
Date: April 2023
Contact: Thomas Weißschuh
Description:
It is a read only file. It contains firmware version of
watchdog device.
What: /sys/class/watchdog/watchdogn/identity
Date: August 2015
Contact: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
Description:
It is a read only file. It contains identity string of
watchdog device.
What: /sys/class/watchdog/watchdogn/nowayout
Date: August 2015
Contact: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
Description:
It is a read/write file. While reading, it gives '1'
if the device has the nowayout feature set, otherwise
it gives '0'. Writing a '1' to the file enables the
nowayout feature. Once set, the nowayout feature
cannot be disabled, so writing a '0' either has no
effect (if the feature was already disabled) or
results in a permission error.
What: /sys/class/watchdog/watchdogn/state
Date: August 2015
Contact: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
Description:
It is a read only file. It gives active/inactive status of
watchdog device.
What: /sys/class/watchdog/watchdogn/status
Date: August 2015
Contact: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
Description:
It is a read only file. It contains watchdog device's
internal status bits. It is equivalent to WDIOC_GETSTATUS
of ioctl interface.
What: /sys/class/watchdog/watchdogn/timeleft
Date: August 2015
Contact: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
Description:
It is a read only file. It contains value of time left for
reset generation. It is equivalent to WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT of
ioctl interface.
What: /sys/class/watchdog/watchdogn/timeout
Date: August 2015
Contact: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
Description:
It is a read only file. It is read to know about current
value of timeout programmed.
Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
