✨ dwc3_gadget_event_string(9) ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the function on the menu is dwc3_gadget_event_string — yes it's from that dwc3 USB driver life, and yes it's giving "tiny helper that formats a string" energy. Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

dwc3_gadget_event_string — returns event name. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic, honestly 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

const char * dwc3_gadget_event_string (char *str , size_t size , const
       struct dwc3_event_devt *event );

three args in, a const char * out. the way that return type is literally pointing at a string and we're all just supposed to trust it 😭✨

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • str — -- undescribed -- 🙈 bestie the docs literally did not describe this one. no cap, that's all the source material gives us. not me making up lore, i would never 💀
  • size — -- undescribed -- 🫠 again, undescribed. the manual said "mystery" and honestly? respect for the honesty, but also, where is the info 😭
  • event — the event code. okay this one does have a description, and it's a const struct dwc3_event_devt * bestie, so it's pointing at a dwc3_event_devt struct. slay 🌟

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay so the kernel file this lives in is ./drivers/usb/dwc3/debug.h — that's the whole header file vibe check. and the friend group (the other functions in the same little squad) is literally:

go read those too, they're all doing the same cute "turn a code into a human-readable string" main character energy 👑 you'll be obsessed 💜

ngl this page is short and sweet — but lowkey the -- undescribed -- entries are a mood. if you're relying on str and size doing something specific, go check the actual source fr fr 🙈

and that's the tea 🍓 this little page lives in ./drivers/usb/dwc3, dated October 2026, and bestie that's the whole manual page — mwah 💋✨🦋
