init_orchid(9)

💖 init_orchid — the Kernel API Manual page, bestie 💖

✨ NAME ✨

init_orchid — initialise the host adapter. That’s the whole assignment. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int init_orchid (struct orc_host * host );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• host — the host adapter to initialise. Yes bestie, that one. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so real talk: init_orchid initialises the controller and, if necessary, loads the firmware. It’s giving “setup era,” and honestly? Obsessed. ✨

If the initialisation fails, it returns -1. That’s the tea. 😭
