genwqe_dev_alloc(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so welcome to genwqe_dev_alloc(9) — yes bestie, that's the Kernel API Manual page — and its whole vibe is: create and prepare a new card descriptor 💅✨ Like, fresh descriptor, made and prepped, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct genwqe_dev * genwqe_dev_alloc (void );

That's the exact signature, character for character — don't come for me, iykyk 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• void — no arguments. literally none. zero. not a single one 🙈💀

🦋 RETURN 🦋

You get a pointer to card descriptor when it slays, or ERR_PTR(err) on error 😭 That's the return tea, periodt.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
