✨ acpi_has_method(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one's a lil baby page but she's important, don't sleep on her 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

acpi_has_method — the vibe check that tells you whether @handle has a method named @name 👑

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bool acpi_has_method (acpi_handle handle , char *name );

like literally that's the whole thing, she's compact, she's iconic ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• handle — an ACPI device handle, the main character of this whole operation 💖
• name — the name of the object or method you're asking about 🔍

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So the whole gig here: this function checks whether handle has a method named name. That's it. That's the function. No cap, no secret bonus features, just a clean little boolean answer — true if the method is there, false if it isn't, and you can move on with your life 😌✨

like honestly? sometimes the simplest functions are the most useful ones and this one ate 💅
