πŸ’… i3c_dev_get_master_data πŸ’…

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ β€” this one's a tiny little function living in i3c_dev_get_master_data(9) land, and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty" πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

i3c_dev_get_master_data β€” get master private data attached to an I3C device descriptor πŸ¦‹

like, it goes and fetches the private data that some master parked on an I3C device descriptor. that's the whole vibe check, no cap.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void * i3c_dev_get_master_data (const struct i3c_dev_desc *dev );

literally one argument. one return. immaculate minimalism πŸ‘‘


🫢 ARGUMENTS 🫢

  • dev β€” the I3C device descriptor you wanna pull private data out of. that's it, that's the whole parameter. it's const struct i3c_dev_desc * so like, don't even think about messing with it πŸ™ˆ

πŸ’– RETURN πŸ’–

returns the private data that was previously attached with i3c_dev_set_master_data β€” y'know, the matching setter, the other half of the duo πŸ’…

or, if nobody attached anything to the device: NULL. that's it. no data attached, no data back, zero drama, fr fr.


🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

so this is the part where the manpage just. lists. everything. and I mean everything β€” the whole friend group, the whole contact list, the entire group chat 😭 all from the kernel file ./include/linux/i3c/master.h:

like I said. the whole squad πŸ§šπŸ’œ the i2c cousins are all here too, it's a family reunion.


πŸ’€ quick reminder bestie: the set version is i3c_dev_set_master_data β€” this page only gets. don't come for me if you tried to set data with the getter, that's on you πŸ™ˆ

and that's the page!! short, sweet, extremely iconic ⭐ source/version is ./include/linux/i3c, dated October 2026, from the Kernel API Manual β€” mwah, love u, go attach some private data responsibly πŸ“πŸ’–πŸŽ€
