✨ dcdbas_reboot_notify — handle reboot notification for host control ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to dcdbas_reboot_notify(9), a page so mysterious it basically has main character energy while telling us almost nothing 💅. This is the Kernel API Manual entry (section 9, iykyk) for the function that handles reboot notification for host control. That's the whole vibe. Let's go 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

dcdbas_reboot_notify — literally handles the reboot notification for host control, that's it, that's the job 🎀

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

int dcdbas_reboot_notify (struct notifier_block *nb , unsigned long code
, void *unused );

Three params, one int coming back at you. No cap, that's the signature, copy it exactly bestie 💖

---

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

Lowkey the original page is giving minimal-effort icon behavior here, because every single argument is listed as -- undescribed -- 😭. So here's the honest tea, no invented details, fr fr:

• nb — -- undescribed -- (yes really, the manual page itself says so 🙈)
• code — -- undescribed -- (also undescribed, the docs are being mysterious 🦋)
• unused — -- undescribed -- (undescribed AND literally called unused, make of that what you will 💀)

bestie please do not go around guessing what these do — this page does not tell us, and I'm not about to invent lore 🌸

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

Go read the kernel file ./drivers/platform/x86/dell/dcdbas.c — that's where the real lore lives 👑
