(acpi_handle handle );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • handle β€” the handle to the acpi device, bestie. that's the whole vibe check for this one 🫢

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so what this does is parse the LPAT table into a struct of type acpi_lpat_table ✨ on success it hands you back a pointer to a freshly allocated table β€” new table smell, iconic πŸ”₯

⚠️ but listen: this table must be freed by the caller when they're done processing it, using a call to acpi_lpat_free_conversion_table. don't just walk away from it, that's not main character energy, that's a memory leak 😭
