device_is_dependent(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 device_is_dependent(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil device_is_dependent(9) page and it's genuinely so much simpler than it looks, i promise 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

device_is_dependent — literally just checks if one device depends on another one 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int device_is_dependent (struct device *dev , void *target );

like that's it. that's the whole vibe check 😌

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • dev — the device you're checking dependencies for, aka the main character 👑
  • target — the device you're checking against, the one we're like "do u depend on her??" about 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: this checks if target depends on dev, or on any device dependent on it — that's its child, or its consumer, etc. etc. like the whole little dependency tree of girlies 🌈

it returns 1 if that's the case, or 0 otherwise. nosy but honest. not me checking the dependency graph like it's someone's instagram followers 💀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

ok that's a LOT of friends but they're all slaying in their own lanes, go read them too if u want the full lore 📚💜

and that's a wrap, bestie 🎀 this page lives in ./drivers/base, dated October 2026, and yes she ate 💅✨ bye love u 🫶
