✨ gpiod_set_consumer_name(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this little page is all about gpiod_set_consumer_name, and honestly? it's giving "name your GPIO child" energy. let's go 🫶

💖 NAME 💖

gpiod_set_consumer_name — set the consumer name for the descriptor

like, you're literally giving your descriptor a lil name tag 🏷️✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int gpiod_set_consumer_name (struct gpio_desc *desc , const char *name );

that's the whole vibe. one call, two arguments, and a int coming back at you 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • desc — the gpio you're setting the consumer name on. this is the main character right here 👑
  • name — the brand new consumer name. yes, you get to pick it, no cap ✨

🎀 RETURN 🎀

0 on success (slay 💅), or a negative errno on failure (oop 😭 — that's your cue to go check what went wrong).

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so this is the part where the kernel just drops the whole friend group 🫶 — the source file lives at ./drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c, and here's every single sibling function, in order, no skips, no cuts, fr fr:

ngl, that's a whole roster. read them all, they're all canon 💀✨

and that's the page, bestie!! 🧚 this one's from ./drivers/gpio, dated October 2026, and it lives under the Kernel API Manual banner. go forth and name your descriptors, icon 🎀💜
