💖 dvb_ca_en50221_init(9) 💖

okay so real talk, bestie — this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one (1) little function that's about to be your whole personality: dvb_ca_en50221_init. she's the "hi nice to meet you" of DVB CA devices. slay.

✨ NAME ✨

dvb_ca_en50221_init — literally just initialises a brand new DVB CA device. that's it. that's the vibe. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int dvb_ca_en50221_init (struct dvb_adapter *dvb_adapter , struct
dvb_ca_en50221 *ca , int flags , int slot_count );

look at her go 😭 four params, one int back, iconic behaviour only.

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • dvb_adapter — the DVB adapter you're attaching your shiny new CA device to. like picking which group chat you're dropping the link in. 🫶
  • ca — the dvb_ca instance. this is your main character. 👑
  • flags — flags describing the CA device, and they're all DVB_CA_EN50221_FLAG_*. yes, with the asterisk and everything — that's the family name, not a typo, iykyk. 🌸
  • slot_count — how many slots are supported. count 'em. 🔢
ngl, these are the exact four things you hand her, in that exact order. no substitutions, no "close enough" vibes. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so what does she actually do? she returns 0 on success, and nonzero on failure. that's the whole lore fr fr. ✨

be normal about the return value please — 0 means we ate, anything nonzero means something went sideways and you should probably go check. 💀
