ishtp_bus_add_device(9)

🦋 ishtp_bus_add_device(9) 🦋

okay so bestie, this one is straight out of the Kernel API Manual — and it's literally the function that creates a device on the bus. no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ishtp_bus_add_device — the function to create a device on the bus. iconic behavior only. 🫶

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

struct ishtp_cl_device * ishtp_bus_add_device (struct ishtp_device *dev
       , guid_t uuid , char *name );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the ishtp device. that's the main character here. ✨
• uuid — the uuid of the client. yes, that uuid. 💖
• name — the name of the client. gotta label your bestie. 🏷️

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea: it allocates an ISHTP bus client device, attaches it to uuid, and registers it with the ISHTP bus. that's it, that's the whole slay. 💅

🔥 RETURN 🔥

it gives you an ishtp_cl_device pointer, or NULL on failure. so yeah — if it's NULL, it's giving "not today." 😭
