💅 NAME 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ir_mce_kbd_decode (struct rc_dev *dev , struct ir_raw_event ev );

like, look at her go 🎀

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• dev — the struct rc_dev descriptor of the device. literally the whole personality of your remote, this is who she is 💖
• ev — the struct ir_raw_event descriptor of the pulse/space. just one lil pulse or space being handed over for judgement 👑

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So the tea is: this function returns -EINVAL if the pulse violates the state machine 😭 that's it, that's the whole vibe check — step out of line with the state machine and she will hand you an -EINVAL without hesitation, no cap.

ngl it's giving "bouncer at the club checking your ID" and the state machine is the ID 💀
