aac_get_containers(9)
β¨ aac_get_containers β like, the container roster function π
okay so real talk, bestie: this is aac_get_containers from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel API, we're fancy now π). Buckle up, it's a short one but it's iconic.
πΈ NAME πΈ
aac_get_containers β list containers. That's it. That's the whole vibe. β¨
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
int aac_get_containers (struct aac_dev *dev );
no cap, that's the entire call. one arg, returns an int. simple queen behavior π
π ARGUMENTS π
devβ the aac driver data. yeah, that's the whole description the manpage gives us and honestly? we respect the brevity. it's the driver data struct pointer, hand it over and let the function cook π«Ά
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
So what does it do? It makes a list of all containers on this controller. Periodt.
Like, picture the controller as the main character and the containers as the group chat members β this function is the "who's in the chat" check π. It goes and rounds up every container chillin' on this controller and makes a list of them. that's the mission. that's the whole mission. π
ngl the manpage keeps it short and mysterious here, so we're not gonna invent lore that isn't in the source. no extra side quests, bestie π
