💫 comedi_driver_register(9) 💫

ok so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the kernel API manual, we're literally in the big leagues bestie 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

comedi_driver_register — register a low-level COMEDI driver. that's it, that's the whole job, and honestly? iconic 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int comedi_driver_register (struct comedi_driver *driver);

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• driver — the low-level COMEDI driver you're signing up. like, the actual driver struct, hand it over 🫶

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

ok so here's the vibe: your low-level COMEDI driver gets added to the list of registered COMEDI drivers. that's the whole thing. it's on the list now. main character energy ✨

and like, who actually uses that list? two things, bestie:

• the handler for the /proc/comedi file 👀
• the handler for the COMEDI_DEVCONFIG ioctl, which is what configures "legacy" COMEDI devices (only for those low-level drivers that support it, no cap) 🔥

Returns 0. always a zero. a clean, flawless zero. 🧚
