iio_dummy_probe(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so we’re looking at iio_dummy_probe(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and the name is giving iio_dummy_probe — device instance probe 💅

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

struct iio_sw_device * iio_dummy_probe (const char *name );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• name — the name of this instance. literally that’s the whole assignment, bestie 🎀

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The arguments are bus type specific, no cap — which exact signature you get depends on the bus. The page lists these two flavors:

• I2C: iio_dummy_probe(struct i2c_client *client, const struct i2c_device_id *id)
• SPI: iio_dummy_probe(struct spi_device *spi)

That’s the vibe check for this function: same probe name, different bus-specific arguments. periodt 🦋

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

• Kernel file ./drivers/iio/dummy/iio_simple_dummy.c struct iio_dummy_accel_calibscale(9), iio_dummy_read_raw(9), iio_dummy_write_raw(9), iio_dummy_init_device(9), iio_dummy_remove(9)

cute little sign-off: source/version is ./drivers/iio/dummy, date is October 2026, and the manual is Kernel API Manual. bye bestie, go probe something responsibly 🫶💖
