💅 is_ssam_device(9) — the Kernel API Manual, but make it a group chat

okay so bestie, listen — this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a short one, so we're gonna get through it together and you're gonna slay it. no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

is_ssam_device — literally just checks if the device you handed it is a SSAM client device. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a vibe checker for structs. 🔍

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool is_ssam_device (struct device *d );

that's the whole signature, icon. clean, simple, to the point. we love a minimal queen. 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • d — the device you want to test the type of. like, hand her the device and she'll tell you what it is. that's the assignment, and she ate. 💅

⭐ RETURN ⭐

so here's the tea 🍵 — she returns true if the device you passed in is of type struct ssam_device, which means the device type points to ssam_device_type. and if it doesn't? she returns false. no in-between, no "it's complicated", just true or false. periodt. 🔥

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

okay this is the part where she tags all her mutuals. it's giving "linked in the bio" energy, ngl 👀 — and the whole thing lives in the kernel file ./include/linux/surface_aggregator/device.h:

like, that's the whole friend group right there. the way they all show up in the same header file is so 💖 found family 💖. iykyk. 🌈

word of warning bestie: this page only tells you how to check the type — it does not promise anything about what happens after. don't get creative. 🙈

and that's the whole page, mwah 💜 — brought to you by the source file ./include/linux/surface_aggreg..., dated October 2026. it's giving vintage but make it future. stay iconic, go check your device types, and remember: true or false, no in-between. 💀✨🎀
