driver_init(9)

✨ driver_init(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and bestie, it's a short one, but it's lowkey a main character 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

driver_init — initialize driver model. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void driver_init (void );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• void — no arguments. literally none. not a single one. it takes nothing and it wants nothing 🙈

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so what this does is it calls the driver model init functions so all their subsystems get initialized — like, it's the group chat roll call for the driver model, everyone gets pinged and everyone shows up 🌈

and the way it's called? super early, from init/main.c. like, first day of school early. it's giving "opening act of the whole boot" energy 👑
