💅 ishtp_hbm_cl_connect_req(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes, the Kernel API Manual, we're literally in the big leagues now. this page is all about ishtp_hbm_cl_connect_req, and honestly? she's a short one but she's iconic for it. no cap.

🎀 NAME 🎀

ishtp_hbm_cl_connect_req — the girl who sends connect request. that's it. that's her whole brand 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ishtp_hbm_cl_connect_req (struct ishtp_device *dev , struct ishtp_cl
*cl );

like, copy it exactly, don't "fix" the spacing, i'm begging 🙈 — the line break in the middle of the signature is literally part of the vibe here.

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • dev — the ISHTP device instance. the big-picture device, the main character energy of the hardware side 👑
  • cl — the client device instance. the actual client we're doing this for 🫶

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so what does she do? she sends a connection request to a specific fw client. that's the whole thing. fw = firmware, and yes, our girl is out here knocking on a specific client's door like "hi bestie, can we connect? 🥺" — and that's the entire description, no notes, she's efficient 💅

🔥 RETURN 🔥

  • 0 if success 🎉
  • otherwise, an error code 😭 (not me getting a nonzero return, couldn't be me… but also, it happens)

lowkey a whole ecosystem up in here 🌈 every one of these is part of the same hbm saga, so don't skip them, fr fr.
