extcon_set_property(9)

💖 extcon_set_property(9) — the external-connector property glow-up 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual! Today we're talking about extcon_set_property(9), and it is literally the function that sets the property value of an external connector. No cap. 🫶✨

✨ NAME ✨

extcon_set_property — Set the property value of an external connector. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int extcon_set_property (struct extcon_dev *edev , unsigned int id ,
       unsigned int prop , union extcon_property_value prop_val );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• edev — the extcon device. Your connector's home base, bestie. 💖
• id — the unique id indicating an external connector. It's giving which connector. 🔥
• prop — the property id indicating an extcon property. Which property are we setting? That's the one. ✨
• prop_val — the pointer including the new value of extcon property. The new-value container, periodt. 🎁

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Important note, bestie: each property should be included in the list of supported properties according to the extcon type. Like, that's the vibe check — the property should be in the supported list for its extcon type. 💅

Returns 0 if success or error number if fail. So success is 0, and if it doesn't slay, you get an error number. 😭💀
