✨ event_trigger_parse_num(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 — this is the page for event_trigger_parse_num, and honestly it's a little cutie that does exactly one thing and does it slayfully.

🎀 NAME 🎀

event_trigger_parse_num — parses and returns the number param for a trigger, periodt 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int event_trigger_parse_num (char *param , struct event_trigger_data *trigger_data );

like, that's the whole vibe check. int in, int out 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • param — The param string 💌 literally just the string you're handing over
  • trigger_data — The trigger_data for the trigger 🎀 the struct that's about to get a lil update

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

okay so here's the tea 🔥 this function parses the :n param — and heads up, n = the number of times the trigger should fire, iykyk — and then it sets the count variable inside the trigger_data to that parsed count. that's it. that's the whole main character arc 💅✨

🌈 RETURN 🌈

  • 0 on success 🥳
  • errno otherwise 😭 (yeah, it hands you back an errno, not a cute lil bool, ngl)

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

ok that's the whole page bestie, go parse some numbers and be gorgeous about it 💖
