(that's "get the mainboard vendor", iykyk ✨)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

extern const char* kdk_board_get_vendor();

and like, don't forget to Link with -lkyhw. fr fr, it will not work otherwise 💅

---

✨ DETAILED DESCRIPTION ✨

The main function of the interface is to obtain mainboard manufacturer. that's it, that's the whole vibe — she's a one-job girlie and she does her job flawlessly. 👑

---

💅 RETURN VALUE 💅

• On success, returns the mainboard manufacturer of type char*. and listen — the returned string needs to be released by free. do NOT forget to free it, bestie, that's a leak and we don't do leaks in this house 🫶
• On error, return NULL. so like, always vibe check for NULL before you go printing it, okay? 😭

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

here's the whole girl squad in action, name + vendor + date + serial, all at once, iconic:

#include "stdio.h"
#include "libkyboard.h"

int main()
{

    char *name = kdk_board_get_name();
    char *vendor = kdk_board_get_vendor();
    char *date = kdk_board_get_date();
    char *serial = kdk_board_get_serial();
    printf("name : %s", name);
    printf("vendor : %s", vendor);
    printf("date : %s", date);
    printf("serial : %s", serial);
    free(name);
    free(vendor);
    free(date);
    free(serial);
    return 0;
}

see how every single one gets free'd at the end? that's the main character energy we're looking for ✨🧚
