dock_in_progress(9)

💅 dock_in_progress 💅

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual entry for dock_in_progress(9) — short, sweet, and lowkey iconic. it's giving “tiny function, very specific job” energy, and honestly? obsessed. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

• dock_in_progress — see if we are in the middle of handling a dock event. that's the whole gig, no cap. 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature is right here, character-for-character, don't @ me:

int dock_in_progress (struct dock_station *ds );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ds — the dock station. that's the struct dock_station * we're checking, bestie. 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

soooo sometimes while docking, false dock events can get sent to the driver — maybe because good connections aren't made, maybe for some other reason. the move is to ignore these if we are in the middle of doing something. periodt. 💅
