πŸ’… hdmi_automation_enable(9) β€” like, the Kernel API Manual bestie ✨

okay so bestie, this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's literally called hdmi_automation_enable β€” and no, we're not gatekeeping, it's giving "flip the HDMI automation feature on or off" energy πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

hdmi_automation_enable β€” Enable/Disable HDMI automation feature πŸ¦‹


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ssize_t hdmi_automation_enable (struct file *f , const char __user *buf
, size_t size , loff_t *pos );

that's the whole signature, no cap β€” copy it exactly, she's iconic πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • f β€” file structure. yeah. the file structure. it's there, it's doing file structure things 🫢
  • buf β€” userspace buffer. this is the main character fr fr: set it to '1' to enable the automation feature, or '0' to disable it. one digit, big power ⭐
  • size β€” size of buffer from userspace. lowkey just telling you how much buffer you're working with πŸ™ˆ
  • pos β€” unused. literally not used. she's just vibing in the parameter list, we love a decorative queen πŸ‘‘

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

Return size on success, error code on failure. that's it, that's the whole vibe check β€” happy path gives you back size, sad path gives you an error code 😭

ngl bestie, keep those paths and option names exactly as written β€” copying code is a slay, changing code is a crime πŸ’€
