🧚 LIBRARY 🧚

library “libsysdecode” 🫶

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <sysdecode.h>

const char *
sysdecode_ioctlname(unsigned long request);

okay so sysdecode_ioctlname() is the function you call when you need the name of a device control request, and that request is the one passed in as request. No cap, that’s the whole vibe 💖

There’s a whole table of names, and it gets generated while the sysdecode library is being built — from system headers. That table maps device control request values to the name of the corresponding C macro. It’s giving build-time magic, fr fr ✨

🎀 RETURN VALUES 🎀

• 💖 If request is a known value, sysdecode_ioctlname() returns the name of a device control request.
• 🫶 Otherwise, it returns NULL.
