📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ comedi_pci_driver_register ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the kernel, we're doing kernel stuff today, look at us 💅 — and it's all about comedi_pci_driver_register. Buckle up, it's short but it's important.

🌸 NAME 🌸

comedi_pci_driver_register — literally just registers a PCI COMEDI driver. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int comedi_pci_driver_register (struct comedi_driver *comedi_driver ,
struct pci_driver *pci_driver );

yes it takes two pointers and returns an int. she's simple, she's iconic, she does her job. ✨

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • comedi_driver — the COMEDI driver you wanna register, pointed at by a struct comedi_driver *. that's her 🫶
  • pci_driver — and this one's the PCI driver you're registering, a struct pci_driver *. both of them, together, registered. slay 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea ☕: this function gets called from the module_init of PCI COMEDI driver modules, and what it does is register both the COMEDI driver and the PCI driver. two for the price of one, we love efficiency 💜

⚠️ but bestie, listen — do not call it directly. like, ever. fr fr. use the module_comedi_pci_driver helper macro instead. that's the whole point of the helper, iykyk 🌈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success 🎉 — we love a zero
  • a negative error number on failure 😭 — not zero, and definitely not happy about it

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

go read these next, bestie, they're all in the kernel file ./drivers/comedi/comedi_pci.c 🧚

like, the whole friend group. the comedi_pci cinematic universe 💀✨
