find_named_trigger(9)

🎀 find_named_trigger(9) 🎀

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual page for find_named_trigger, and it is literally the little matchmaker for named triggers. bestie, let’s get into it 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

find_named_trigger — Find the common named trigger associated with @name.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature, untouched because code is sacred:

struct event_trigger_data * find_named_trigger (const char *name );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• name — The name of the set of named triggers to find the common data for. This is the group-chat name that tells the function which trigger squad you’re asking about 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so named triggers are sets of triggers that share a common set of trigger data. The first named trigger registered with a given name owns the common trigger data that the others subsequently registered with the same name will reference. This function returns the common trigger data associated with that first registered instance. No cap — it’s giving “first one in the group owns the shared vibe” 💅

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• success: the common trigger data for the given named trigger ✨
• otherwise: NULL 🙈
