ishtp_cl_is_...r_connecting(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

ishtp_cl_is_other_connecting — bestie, this one checks if another client is connecting 👀

So like, that's the whole vibe. This is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel has a manual, and yes, it's iconic).

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool ishtp_cl_is_other_connecting (struct ishtp_cl *cl );

That's it. One function, one argument, returns a bool. Short and slay 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • cl — the client device instance 🌸 (this is your girl, the one you're asking about)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: you've got a client, right? And this function peeks around to see if some other client is connecting — and not just any other client, one with the same fw client id. Same id, different client, currently connecting. It's giving "wait, is someone else using my name" energy 😭

So yeah: it checks if another client with the same fw client id is connecting. That's the whole job. No cap. 🫶

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • true — if another client is connected 🔥
  • false — otherwise 💀

Literally a yes/no girlie. Periodt.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file: ./drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp/client.c — that's where the magic lives, go read it 🧚

And here's the whole friend group, all of them (9) sections, all linked up:

Ok that's the page!! 🫶 No warnings, no deprecated drama, no undefined behaviour to panic about — it's just a little bool check and honestly? We love a low-stakes king 👑

Bye bestie!! This one came out of ./drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp, dated October 2026, and its page name got a lil truncated in the header as ishtp_cl_is_...r_connecting(9) — you know her, you love her 💜✨🎀
