acpi_data_ge...operty_array(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so welcome to the acpi_data_get_property_array(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🫶. This function is literally here to return an ACPI array property with given name. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int acpi_data_get_property_array (const struct acpi_device_data *data ,
const char *name , acpi_object_type type , const union acpi_object **obj
);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• data — ACPI data object to get the property from.
• name — Name of the property.
• type — Expected type of array elements.
• obj — Location to store a pointer to the property value (if not NULL).

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Look up an array property with name and store a pointer to the resulting ACPI object at the location pointed to by obj if found. iconic behavior, honestly ✨

⚠️ bestie, listen: Callers must not attempt to free the returned objects. Those objects will be freed by the ACPI core automatically during the removal of data. so do not touch, okay? 💀

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 — if array property (package) with name has been found (success) 🎉
• -EINVAL — if the arguments are invalid
• -EINVAL — if the property doesn't exist
• -EPROTO — if the property is not a package or the type of its elements doesn't match type
