devm_iio_map_array_register(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– devm_iio_map_array_register β€” kernel API manual, but make it cute πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to the devm_iio_map_array_register(9) page β€” yes that's the whole name, it's a mouthful, we don't talk about it 😭. It's a kernel API manual entry, and it's literally the device-managed glow-up of iio_map_array_register. main character energy only ✨


✨ NAME ✨

devm_iio_map_array_register β€” the device-managed version of iio_map_array_register. that's it, that's the vibe πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

int devm_iio_map_array_register (struct device *dev , struct iio_dev
       *indio_dev , const struct iio_map *maps );

like, three args, one int coming back at you, no cap 🫢


🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • dev β€” the device object you're binding the unwinding of this registration to. it's the one holding the leash, basically 🧚
  • indio_dev β€” pointer to the iio_dev structure. iconic struct, we love her πŸ‘‘
  • maps β€” pointer to an IIO map object that's getting registered to this IIO device. the actual payload, fr fr πŸŽ€

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

so here's the tea πŸ“ β€” this function will call iio_map_array_register to register an IIO map object, and it also hooks a callback to the iio_map_array_unregister function to handle the de-registration of the IIO map object when the device's refcount goes to zero. automatic cleanup, no manual labour, obsessed 😭✨

like, you register the thing, and devm handles the messy breakup later when the refcount hits zero. it's giving responsible adult behaviour πŸ’œ


πŸ‘€ SEE ALSO πŸ‘€


ngl bestie, the SEE ALSO section is literally the friend group. the register, the unregister, and the header they all live in. periodt πŸ’…
