hl_state_dump_get_sync_name(9)

💅 hl_state_dump_get_sync_name(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so welcome to the hl_state_dump_get_sync_name(9) page, part of the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's short and sweet and honestly kind of iconic for it.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

hl_state_dump_get_sync_name — transform sync object id to name if available

like, you hand it an id, it hands you a name back. if it can. that's the whole gig 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

const char * hl_state_dump_get_sync_name (struct hl_device *hdev , u32 sync_id );

that's the whole signature, no cap. she takes two things and returns a const char * 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hdev — pointer to the device. the main character of the story, lowkey 👑
• sync_id — sync object id. the number we're tryna turn into a name 🎀

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Returns a name literal — or NULL if it's not resolved. that's it. that's the function. she's straightforward and we respect her for it 💅

---

👑 NOTE 👑

getting NULL back shall not be considered as a failure, okay?? 😭 not all sync objects are named — some of them just show up to the function like "nameless, mysterious, unbothered" and that's valid 🧚 fr fr, don't @ her about it.
