con_is_bound(9)

💅 con_is_bound(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's a tiny little function from the kernel world and honestly it's giving "small but mighty" 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

con_is_bound — literally checks if a driver is bound to the console 🔍

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int con_is_bound (const struct consw *csw );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• csw — the console driver, bestie. that's the vibes you're checking 👑

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• zero if it's unbound 🚫
• nonzero if it's bound ✅

like, zero = no, anything else = yes. iconique.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea ☕ drivers can call this function, and if it comes back zero, they should release all resources allocated on consw.con_startup. no cap — zero means pack it up and free everything 🧹✨
