cpuidle_get_cpu_driver(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this one's a little function called cpuidle_get_cpu_driver from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally just "return the driver registered for a CPU" ✨ short king energy but honestly? iconic. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay here's the whole vibe of how you call it, no cap:

struct cpuidle_driver * cpuidle_get_cpu_driver (struct cpuidle_device
*dev );

that's it, that's the whole thing, she's simple, she slays 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — this is a valid pointer to a struct cpuidle_device. literally just hand her a valid one and you're good, bestie 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does she actually do? Returns a struct cpuidle_driver pointer 💖 that's your main character return value right there.

and if no driver is registered for the CPU associated with dev, she gives you NULL instead. that's it. that's the whole plot. no driver? NULL. driver? pointer. periodt. 💀✨
