💅 ishtp_fw_cl_get_client(9) — the Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense 🎀

okay so bestie, we're deep in the kernel docs rn — this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's literally called ishtp_fw_cl_get_client, iykyk. it's giving "niche but important" and honestly? iconic. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ishtp_fw_cl_get_client — return client information to client 💖

like, the whole job is: you want the client info, it gives you the client info. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct ishtp_fw_client * ishtp_fw_cl_get_client (struct ishtp_device
*dev , const guid_t *uuid );

periodt. that's the signature, copy it exactly, don't come for me 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • dev — the ishtp device structure 🧚 like, the device we're digging around in
  • uuid — uuid of the client to search 🔍 the one we're looking for, bestie

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

Search firmware client using UUID and reture related client information.

(yes, "reture" — that's the original's typo, not mine, we respect the source text 😭✨ but fr fr the meaning is: you hand it a UUID, it hunts through the firmware clients using that UUID, and hands you back the matching client information. detective work but make it kernel 🕵️‍♀️)

👑 RETURN 👑

pointer of client information on success, NULL on failure. 👈 that's the vibe check — got a pointer? slay, you win. got NULL? it didn't find anything, no drama 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this list is long long, but every single one of these is part of the family, so here we go, bestie, don't skip a single one 🫶

that's the whole squad 🧚‍♀️💜
