gpiochip_fwd_get_data(9)

✨ gpiochip_fwd_get_data(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 😌💅 this one is a lil function from the Linux kernel's GPIO forwarder situation and honestly? it's giving "tiny but essential." let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

gpiochip_fwd_get_data — get the driver-private data for the GPIO forwarder 🎀

like, it literally goes and fetches the data that the driver is keeping all to itself for this forwarder. main character retrieval moment fr fr.

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

void * gpiochip_fwd_get_data (struct gpiochip_fwd *fwd );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• fwd — the GPIO forwarder 💫 (yes that's the whole vibe, it's just the forwarder you're passing in, no cap)

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

it returns the driver-private data for the GPIO forwarder ✨ that's it, that's the whole tea. void * so it's flexible, iconic, unbothered 💅

ngl bestie, this one is short and sweet — no flags, no env vars, no exit codes, just a clean lil getter. lowkey refreshing 😭💀

kisses and good vibes from the gpio directory, this page came straight out of ./drivers/gpio and got stamped with October 2026 🌈 so you know it's fresh. mwah 💋✨
