es58x_probe(9)

💅 es58x_probe — NAME

okay so bestie, es58x_probe is the function that initializes the USB device ✨ this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's genuinely the moment where your device first says hi to the kernel 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS

int es58x_probe (struct usb_interface *intf , const struct usb_device_id *id );

bestie the signature is literally right there, copy it exactly, int, two args, no cap 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• intf — the USB interface 💖 like, the actual thing the driver got handed and is being asked to bring to life
• id — the USB device ID 🦋 the little matchmaking card that says "yep, this device is one of ours"

---

🔥 RETURN

so here's the vibe check on what you get back:

• zero on success — slay, everything worked 👑
• -ENODEV if the interface is not supported — i.e. this device isn't ours, no hard feelings 💀
• errno when any other error occurs — like, some other error, whatever it is, you get the errno back

ngl the return contract is simple and that's iconic of it.
