cvs_init(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ cvs_init(9) — the kernel API manual, but make it a vibe ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the cvs_init(9) page 💅 this is a kernel API manual page, and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, and it's giving "little function, big job" energy. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

cvs_init — the module init that registers the I2C and platform drivers 👑

like, that's literally her whole thing. she shows up, she registers the I2C driver, she registers the platform driver, she's done. main character energy fr fr ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int cvs_init (void );

no cap, that's the whole signature. she takes nothing, she returns an int. iconic behavior tbh 😌

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • void — no arguments 💀 literally none. she needs zero input from you. she's independent. she's thriving. she does not want your parameters, bestie 🙈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success 🎉 slay
  • negative errno if something went sideways 😭

so like, check the return value, okay? if it's negative, something did NOT eat and you should probably pay attention 🔥

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

okay this is the part where the manpage goes full group-chat-tagging-everyone mode, and honestly it's so valid. it points you at the kernel file ./drivers/media/i2c/cvs/core.c and then lists the whole friend group 🫶 so here's the full crew, nobody left out:

and yeah, cvs_exit(9) is in there too — she's the one who cleans up after cvs_init throws her little registration party 🧚 iykyk

ngl bestie, the whole "SEE ALSO" list is lowkey a flex. that's a whole ecosystem of cvs_ functions and every single one of them is worth a read if you're poking around in ./drivers/media/i2c/cvs 💖

and that's the page!! short, sweet, and honestly kind of perfect 🌈 this came to you from the ./drivers/media/i2c/cvs section of the kernel API manual, dated October 2026 — mwah, enjoy, and remember: if cvs_init returns a negative errno, go debug it instead of doomscrolling 🍓👑

bye bestie!! 💅✨
