get_adapter_status(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to get_adapter_status(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this one is literally about getting the adapter status of a slot. main character energy for hotplug code, no cap ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int get_adapter_status (struct hotplug_slot *hotplug_slot , u8 *value );

that's the whole signature, copied exactly, not me editing a single character 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hotplug_slot — the slot you're getting status for. that's the vibe.
• value — pointer to store status. yes, it stores the status there 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: ACPI doesn't provide any formal means to access adapter status. instead, we fake adapter status from _STA. that's it — iconic workaround behavior, lowkey fake-it-till-you-make-it but for kernel status 💀✨
