✨ NAME ✨

asus_wmi_get_devstate_dsts — get the WMI function state. that's it, that's the whole job 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int asus_wmi_get_devstate_dsts (u32 dev_id , u32 *retval );

like look at her, only two arguments, she's not asking for much 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev_id — the WMI method ID to call. this is the "which thing do you want" number, so pick it carefully bestie 💅
• retval — a pointer to where to store the value returned from WMI. it's the lil bucket you're handing her so she can drop the answer in it 🍓

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

she gives you back an int, and here's how to read it, no cap:

• -ENODEV — the method ID is unsupported. basically she looked at your dev_id and was like "girl. no." 😭
• 0 — successful, and retval is filled. slay, the bucket has data now 💖
• other — an error from the WMI call itself. not her fault, the WMI call fumbled 🙈
