📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 gpiochip_fwd_get_gpiochip(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual bestie 💖

okay so real talk, we're deep in the kernel tree and this lil function is your new obsession. it lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it's called gpiochip_fwd_get_gpiochip — say that five times fast, i dare you 😭

✨ NAME ✨

gpiochip_fwd_get_gpiochip — get the GPIO chip for the GPIO forwarder. that's it, that's the whole vibe. no cap, it's a getter. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct gpio_chip * gpiochip_fwd_get_gpiochip (struct gpiochip_fwd *fwd
);

like yes, that trailing ); on its own line is a little dramatic, but she's iconic so we keep her exactly as-is 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • fwd — the GPIO forwarder. yes bestie, that's the one. hand her over and we'll hand you back her chip 🫶

⭐ RETURN ⭐

the GPIO chip for the GPIO forwarder. that's the whole return value — struct gpio_chip *, main character energy, serving exactly what it says on the tin ✨

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay this is the part where i need you to focus, because the whole squad is here and they're all lowkey essential:

kernel file ./drivers/gpio/gpio-aggregator.c — that's the home base, go say hi 🏠

then the whole friend group:

like... the way that's the entire forwarder extended universe. iykyk 🌈

ngl this page is short and sweet, but every single one of those references is doing real work — don't skip the reading, bestie 🙈

and that's the whole page, periodt 🧚
