💖 aac_handle_aif(9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and we're talking about aac_handle_aif(9) — yes that's the whole name, it's giving "my function name is a keyboard smash" but we love her anyway 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

aac_handle_aif — literally just: handle a message from the firmware 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void aac_handle_aif (struct aac_dev * dev , struct fib * fibptr );

no cap, that's the whole signature. she takes two pointers and returns void — main character energy, no return value, no drama 💀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — which adapter this fib is from. that's it, that's the whole vibe check 🌈
• fibptr — pointer to fibptr from the adapter. yes bestie, the fibptr is the pointer. we said what we said 🙈

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

ok so picture this: this routine handles a driver notify fib coming from the adapter, and then dispatches it to the appropriate routine for handling. that's the whole job. she receives the notification, she routes it, she slays, she leaves ✨

no extra lore, no secret side quests — the manpage tells it straight and honestly it's iconic for that 💖

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥
