lsm_battery_id_get(3)
π NAME π
lsm_battery_id_get β bestie, this one hands you the ID of a battery. That's it. That's the whole job. π¦
This page lives in the Libstoragemgmt C API Manual, section 3, so you know it's a library call and not some command you type into your shell. β¨
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
const char * lsm_battery_id_get (lsm_battery *b);
π ARGUMENTS π
bβ the battery you want the ID of. That's the one. Give her the battery, she gives you the ID. π
β VERSION β
1.3 β yeah she's been around, she's established, she's an icon. π
π DESCRIPTION π
Retrieves the ID for the battery. No cap, that's genuinely the entire plot. You pass in your battery, you get back its ID. Simple. Elegant. Ate. π«Ά
π¨ NOTE π¨
okay listen, this part matters, don't skip it:
- The address that comes back is valid only until
lsm_batterygets freed. So if you need it to stick around longer than that, you copy the return value. Do not be out here holding a pointer to a ghost. π - Do not free the returned string. Not yours. Not your business. Leave it alone. π
Fr fr, if you free that string you're gonna have a bad time. It belongs to the library, bestie. Hands off. π
π RETURN π
It gives you back a string. That's the ID. π
But β if argument 'b' is NULL, or if it's not a valid lsm_battery pointer, you get NULL instead. Vibe check failed, no ID for you. π§
and that's the whole page!! short, sweet, iconic, exactly what it says on the tin. now go get that battery ID and slay. π β¨
