iio_device_register(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 iio_device_register(9) — like, the whole kernel API manual but make it make sense ✨

Okay so bestie, welcome to iio_device_register(9) — yes that's the header, yes it's giving very official, but don't worry, I got you 🫶. This is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally about registering a device with the IIO subsystem. That's it. That's the whole vibe. Let's go 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

iio_device_register — register a device with the IIO subsystem 🌸

Like, you have a device, the IIO subsystem needs to know about it, and this function is the one that makes the introduction. Iconic matchmaking behavior tbh 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

iio_device_register (indio_dev );

Yep, one argument, no cap. Copy it exactly like that, spacing and all, because we do not freestyle C signatures in this house 💅

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • indio_dev — the device structure filled by the device driver ✨ Like, your driver is the one who fills this in beforehand — this function isn't filling it for you, bestie, it's just registering it. Important distinction, iykyk.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

Okay so this list is long, but every single one of these is here for a reason and I'm not skipping a single one because that would be rude and also wrong 🙈 Take a sip of water, stretch your wrists, and let's get through it together:

Forty-five entries, all of them, exactly as written 🔥 Not me counting them like a nerd. Okay maybe me. But look at that list — it ate 💀

Also lowkey, real talk: this page is short because the function itself is short. Don't go looking for an OPTIONS section or a RETURN VALUE section, bestie, there isn't one. What you see is what you get 🍓

And that's the whole page, no notes, main character energy from start to finish 🌈⭐

Cute little sign-off: this one lives in ./include/linux/iio, and it's dated October 2026 💜 Slay, go register your devices responsibly 🧚‍♀️
