devm_mux_control_get(9)

💅 devm_mux_control_get(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page you actually wanna read 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the devm_mux_control_get page from the Kernel API Manual. yes it's a mouthful, no you're not gonna fumble it, i got you 💖 this one's short, sweet, and honestly kinda iconic — it's the resource-managed girlie of the mux-control getter family. periodt.

---

✨ NAME ✨

devm_mux_control_get — Get the mux-control for a device, with resource management.

like, it grabs your mux-control and handles the cleanup bookkeeping for you. the devm_ prefix is literally the "i'll remember to free it so you don't have to" friend. we stan 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct mux_control * devm_mux_control_get (struct device *dev , const
char *mux_name );

that's the whole vibe check. two args, one pointer back. no cap ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — The device that needs a mux-control. 👑 like, which device is asking? that one. main character energy.
• mux_name — The name identifying the mux-control. 🎀 the actual name tag so the kernel knows which mux-control you mean. iykyk.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Pointer to the mux-control, or an ERR_PTR with a negative errno. 💀

fr fr, always check with IS_ERR() before you go dereferencing — a raw negative errno wearing a pointer costume is NOT the vibe. 🙈
