ishtp_cl_device_probe(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🦋 ishtp_cl_device_probe — ok so this is the Kernel API Manual page for it, bestie 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ishtp_cl_device_probe — the bus probe() callback, that's literally it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ishtp_cl_device_probe (struct device *dev );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • dev — the device structure 🫶 (yes, the device structure, she's the main character here)

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

Okay so picture this: this function is a bus probe callback. That's her whole job. And what does she do with that job? She calls the driver's probe function. That's it. That's the tea. ☕✨

No cap — she doesn't do a bunch of extra side quests, she doesn't overthink it, she just hands things off to the driver probe and lets it cook. Lowkey iconic behavior fr fr. 👑

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Whatever the driver probe call hands back — that's the return value. You get the driver's answer, verbatim, no middleman energy. 💀

ngl, if the driver probe returns something cursed, that's what you get back too. Chain of custody, bestie. 🙈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥
