cros_ec_sensors_core_init(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 cros_ec_sensors_core_init(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual bestie ✨

okay so picture this: you're in Kernel API Manual land and this little function cros_ec_sensors_core_init is literally the glow-up phase — it's the basic initialization of the core structure. it doesn't do the whole makeover, it just sets the foundation so the rest of the cros_ec sensor squad can eat later 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int cros_ec_sensors_core_init (struct platform_device *pdev , struct
       iio_dev *indio_dev , bool physical_device , cros_ec_sensors_capture_t
       trigger_capture );

she takes four arguments, returns an int, and yes she's that girl 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • pdev — the platform device created for the sensor. like, her whole origin story, bestie 💖
  • indio_dev — the iio device structure of the device. this is the actual vibe container the sensor lives in 🦋
  • physical_device — a bool, and it's true if the device refers to a physical device. no cap, that's the whole check 🔍
  • trigger_capture — a cros_ec_sensors_capture_t function pointer that gets called when the buffer is triggered. it's hanging around for backward compatibility, so be nice to it, she's legacy 👑 iykyk

💫 RETURN 💫

0 on success, -errno on failure. classic. literally every kernel function's main character energy 😭

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

the kernel file lives at ./drivers/iio/common/cros_ec_sensors/cros_ec_sensors_core.c — go read the source, it's giving transparency ✨
