💅 hte_init_line_attr(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is hte_init_line_attr, straight out of the kernel API manual, and honestly? she's a lil setup queen. read this before you touch anything else, fr fr ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

hte_init_line_attr — initializes line attributes. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it well 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int hte_init_line_attr (struct hte_ts_desc *desc , u32 line_id ,
       unsigned long edge_flags , const char *name , void *data );

like, look at that signature. five whole arguments. she's giving main character energy already 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• desc — a pre-allocated timestamp descriptor. pre-allocated, bestie, meaning you bring the memory, she just fills it in 🫶
• line_id — the line id. yep. that's the whole description. iconic of her honestly 💀
• edge_flags — edge flags that go with line_id. they're a matched set, don't separate them 🙈
• name — the name of the line. give her a cute one 🎀
• data — line data related to line_id. yes it's also "related to line_id". the whole function is line_id-pilled ngl 🌈

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what actually happens? she zeroes out the line attributes first — clean slate, fresh start, era reset — and then initializes them with the arguments you handed her. 💅

⚠️ lowkey important: you need to call this function before calling any consumer facing functions. not after. not "ehh probably fine". before. no cap. 😭

---

🧚 CONTEXT 🧚

Any. literally any context, she does not care, she is unbothered, she is that girl 💜

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success, or a negative error code if it fails. so like, if (ret < 0) bestie, always check 🫶
