ishtp_get_drvdata(9)

🌸 ishtp_get_drvdata(9) — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the ishtp_get_drvdata page 💖 this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it is, and I cannot stress this enough, the little getter that could. tiny function, huge slay.

---

✨ NAME ✨

ishtp_get_drvdata — get client driver data 🫶

like, get it. get the data. that's the whole vibe.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void * ishtp_get_drvdata (struct ishtp_cl_device *cl_device );

one argument, one pointer back out. no drama, no cap 💅

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• cl_device — the client device instance 🌷 the actual struct ishtp_cl_device * you're pulling the info from. literally the main character of this whole function.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea ☕ this one is so simple it's iconic. ishtp_get_drvdata gets the client driver data from cl_device->driver_data.

that's it. that's the function. it reaches into cl_device->driver_data and hands you what's in there. no lookups, no side quests, no surprises. we love a lowkey getter ✨

---

✨ RETURN ✨

a pointer of driver data 🔥 — literally just the pointer to the driver data, bestie. that's what you get back.
