KDK_BIOS_GET_VERSION(3)
💖 KDK_BIOS_GET_VERSION 💖
okay so bestie, welcome to the kdk_bios_get_version(3) page — it lives in the Library Functions Manual and it's literally the moment your code gets to peek at what BIOS version the machine is running. no cap, it's a whole vibe. 🦋
✨ NAME ✨
kdk_bios_get_version — 获取bios版本 (get the BIOS version, periodt 💅)
🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸
#include <libkybios.h>
extern const char* kdk_bios_get_version();
and listen, when you compile you gotta link it with -lkyhw or nothing's gonna happen, iykyk 🎀
🧚 Detailed Description 🧚
so the main function of this interface is to obtain the BIOS version. that's it, that's the job, and it does it beautifully. main character energy fr fr. ⭐
💜 RETURN VALUE 💜
- on success? it hands you the BIOS version as a
char*. but heads up bestie, that returned string needs to be released byfree— you own it now, it's your child, take care of it. 🫶 - on error? it just returns
NULL. no drama, just nothing.
not me reminding you again: free that string. leaking it is NOT the vibe. 😭
🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓
here's the whole thing in action, copy it, run it, slay:
#include <stdio.h>
#include "libkybios.h"
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
char *vendor = kdk_bios_get_vendor();
char *version = kdk_bios_get_version();
printf("vendor: %s", vendor);
printf("version: %s",version);
free(vendor);
free(version);
return 0;
}
🌈 CONFORMING TO 🌈
these functions are as per the withdrawn POSIX.1e draft specification. and the following functions are Linux extensions: kdk_bios_get_vendor(). and kdk_bios_free(). yes bestie, extensions, we love to see it. 👑
