cvs_get_device_caps(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

cvs_get_device_caps — bestie, this one reads the protocol capabilities. That's it, that's the vibe 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int cvs_get_device_caps (struct icvs *ctx , struct icvs_dev_capabilities
*caps );

okay so the signature is a little chunky but literally she's just two pointers and an int, we love a low-effort icon 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ctx — your CVS device context 👑 like, the whole device's main character energy, you gotta hand her over
  • caps — the capability structure you're about to populate 🌸 she goes in empty-ish and comes out full of facts, that's the whole point ngl

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success, or a negative errno 😭 so like, check it, don't just assume it ate, fr fr
