π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦

like, yes, the whitespace before that comma is exactly how it's written, i don't make the rules π
π ARGUMENTS π
hostβ the Host1x device object, aka the main character of this whole situation πindexβ the index of the channel you're asking about π’
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
okay so here's the vibe check: if the channel number index is currently allocated, the function bumps up its refcount and hands you back a pointer to it π«Ά
