comedi_pcmcia_auto_config(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, we're cracking open the Kernel API Manual for comedi_pcmcia_auto_config(9) — and it's literally the function that configures/probes a PCMCIA COMEDI device. no cap, that's the whole vibe of the NAME line. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int comedi_pcmcia_auto_config (struct pcmcia_device *link , struct
       comedi_driver *driver );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• link — the PCMCIA device. that's your device pointer, bestie. 💅
• driver — the registered COMEDI driver. yes, the one that's already registered. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this is typically called from the pcmcia_driver (*probe) function. it auto-configures a COMEDI device, and it uses a pointer to the struct device embedded in *link as the hardware device. the way that works is very main character energy. 🔥

and listen: the driver's "auto_attach" handler may call comedi_to_pcmcia_dev on the passed in COMEDI device to recover link. iykyk. 🦋

💅 RETURN 💅

it returns the result of calling comedi_auto_config — so that's 0 on success, or a negative error number on failure. if it's negative, bestie, it's not slaying, it's an error. 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
