cs_amp_create_debugfs(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… cs_amp_create_debugfs β€” the cs_amp girlies' kernel API manual, bestie edition

okay so real talk, the function we're talking about is cs_amp_create_debugfs and it lives in the 9 section of the Kernel API Manual (that's the kernel-flavoured one, iykyk) ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

cs_amp_create_debugfs β€” creates a debugfs directory for a device, no cap πŸ’–


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

struct dentry * cs_amp_create_debugfs (struct device *dev );

like, that's the whole signature, she's cute, she's concise πŸ¦‹


✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • dev β€” pointer to struct device 🫢 literally just a pointer to the device struct, that's it, that's the whole argument.

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

okay so what she does is: she creates a node under "cirrus_logic" in the root of the debugfs filesystem πŸ‘‘

and why, you ask? because this is for Cirrus-specific debugfs functionality, and the whole point is for it to be grouped in a defined way β€” independently of the debugfs provided by ALSA/ASoC πŸ’… the way that the general ALSA/ASoC debugfs may not even be enabled (😭) and does not necessarily have a stable layout or naming convention. so yeah, she's doing her own thing, main character energy, and honestly? iconic.


πŸ”₯ RETURN πŸ”₯

she returns a pointer to the dentry for the created directory πŸ’– … or -ENODEV πŸ™ˆ
