ca8210_dev_com_init(9)

💖 ca8210_dev_com_init — NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is ca8210_dev_com_init(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the function that initialises the spi communication component. that's the whole vibe. it sets the comms up. periodt. ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ca8210_dev_com_init (struct ca8210_priv *priv );

that's the whole call, bestie — one argument, one int coming back at you. 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• priv — a pointer to the private data structure. that's it. that's the whole argument. she takes the private data struct and she runs with it 💅

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

it hands you back 0, or a linux error code — so like, the classic good-news-zero or the "oop something went sideways" number. no cap, if it's not 0, that's your error right there 👑
