cros_ish_init(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

cros_ish_init — the init function for the ISHTP client, aka the lil' setup era before things get real 💖

(oh and hii, this is from the Kernel API Manual, page cros_ish_init(9) — saving you the googling bestie 🫶)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int cros_ish_init (struct ishtp_cl *cros_ish_cl , bool reset );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cros_ish_cl — your ISHTP client instance. the main character of this whole operation 💅
• reset — a bool, and it's true if this got called from the reset handler. lowkey important context, ngl 🌈

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: this function completes the initialization of the client. that's it, that's the whole job. it's the finishing touch, the last lil' bow on top 🎀 the client was getting set up and cros_ish_init is the one who wraps it up so it's actually, fully, officially initialized. periodt ✨

💀 RETURN 💀

• 0 — slay, success 🎉
• negative error code — not slay, failure 😭

fr fr, watch the sign on this one — success is 0, and anything that went wrong comes back as a negative error code, not some random positive number. iykyk 💅
