extcon_get_state(9)

NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to extcon_get_state(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💖. This page is for extcon_get_state — literally “Get the state of an external connector.” That’s the whole name, no cap. 🫶

SYNOPSIS ✨

int extcon_get_state (struct extcon_dev *edev , const unsigned int id );

That’s the function signature, copied exactly like the iconic little code artifact it is. 🎀

ARGUMENTS 🎀

• edev — the extcon device. It’s the device, obvi. 💅
• id — the unique id indicating an external connector. It’s the unique identifier for which external connector we mean. 🌈

DESCRIPTION 💅

Returns 0 if success or error number if fail. That’s the whole contract, bestie — success serves you a 0, and fail hands back an error number. 🍓
