idpf_cfg_device(9) 🦋

okay so bestie, welcome to idpf_cfg_device(9) — yes, that's the page name — straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨. It's giving “configure the device and its device-specific resources,” and honestly? iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

idpf_cfg_device — configure device and device specific resources 💅

Like, this is the function whose whole moment is setting up the device and the resources that are specific to that device. No cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int idpf_cfg_device (struct idpf_adapter *adapter );

It returns an int, and it takes one pointer: adapter. That's the vibe.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• adapter — driver specific private structure 🫶. Yep, that's the driver's own private little structure, the main-character home base for this device. That's the whole description, bestie — we keep it exactly that.

---

💅 RETURN 💅

• 0 — success, slay ✅
• -errno — failure, and it comes back as a negative errno 😭

So yeah: 0 on success, -errno on failure. Periodt.
