okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, the kernel has a manual, and yes, this page is lowkey iconic. Today's main character is ipc3_probes_points_info(9), and we're gonna get you fluent in it. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ipc3_probes_points_info — retrieve list of probe points. that's it, that's the whole vibe. ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ipc3_probes_points_info (struct sof_client_dev *cdev , struct
sof_probe_point_desc **desc , size_t *num_desc , enum
sof_probe_info_type type );

copy it exactly like that, no cap. 🫶

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• cdev — the SOF client device. your little device bestie that this whole call is about. 🧚
• desc — the returned list of active probes. like, it gets filled in for you. presents, basically. 🎁
• num_desc — the returned count of active probes. so you know how many presents. 🔢
• type — either PROBES_INFO_ACTIVE_PROBES or PROBES_INFO_AVAILABE_PROBES. pick one, bestie. (and yes, that second one is spelled exactly like that — iykyk 💀)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea ☕: if type is PROBES_INFO_ACTIVE_PROBES, the host sends a PROBE_POINT_INFO request to obtain the list of active probe points. and those are valid for disconnection when given probe is no longer required — like, once you don't need that probe anymore, you can just disconnect it. slay. 💅

type PROBES_INFO_AVAILABE_PROBES is not yet supported. ngl that one's still cooking. 🙈
