__fpga_region_register_full(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… __fpga_region_register_full β€” Kernel API Manual, bestie edition πŸŽ€

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's about exactly one function: __fpga_region_register_full. say it with me. it's giving "lowkey the full version of the register function" and honestly? iconic.


✨ NAME ✨

__fpga_region_register_full β€” create and register an FPGA Region device. that's it. that's the whole gig. it makes the thing and then puts it on the bus, fr fr. πŸ¦‹


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct fpga_region * __fpga_region_register_full (struct device *parent
, const struct fpga_region_info *info , struct module *owner );

three args. one struct pointer back. no cap. πŸ’–


🫢 ARGUMENTS 🫢

  • parent β€” the device parent. like, who's your mom, who do you belong to in the device tree. everybody needs a parent πŸ₯Ί
  • info β€” parameters for FPGA Region. all the little details it needs to know about itself. this is the vibe check packet πŸ“¦
  • owner β€” module containing the get_bridges function. so it knows which module is responsible for that callback. gotta credit the right queen πŸ‘‘

⭐ RETURN ⭐

struct fpga_region or ERR_PTR. so either you get your shiny new region pointer, or you get an error pointer and you should absolutely check for it with IS_ERR() before you do literally anything else, bestie 😭

ngl, always check your return values. unhandled ERR_PTR is not the main character energy you want πŸ’€
