✨ kset_create_and_add(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual πŸ’– β€” this one's all about kset_create_and_add, and honestly? it's giving "build it and ship it" energy. let's get into it 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

kset_create_and_add β€” create a struct kset dynamically and add it to sysfs. like, on the fly, no cap ✨


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

struct kset * kset_create_and_add (const char *name , const struct kset_uevent_ops *uevent_ops , struct kobject *parent_kobj );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • name β€” the name for the kset πŸ’… that's literally it, that's the name
  • uevent_ops β€” a struct kset_uevent_ops for the kset, aka its uevent behaviour package 🧚
  • parent_kobj β€” the parent kobject of this kset, if any. so yes, it can be a lone wolf, main character energy πŸ‘‘

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

So this function creates a kset structure dynamically and registers it with sysfs. boom, done, iconic πŸ”₯

When you're finished with this structure, call kset_unregister and the structure will be dynamically freed when it is no longer being used β€” like, it doesn't ghost you immediately, it waits until nobody's using it, which is lowkey very polite of it 🫢

and if the kset was not able to be created? NULL gets returned. no kset, no vibes, just NULL 😭 so pls check that return value bestie, fr fr
