okay bestie, so this is led_update_flash_brightness β a lil kernel API function from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about making your flash LED's brightness info stay in sync. lowkey iconic behavior tbh π
π NAME π
led_update_flash_brightness β update flash LED brightness, bestie. that's the whole vibe. β¨
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int led_update_flash_brightness (struct led_classdev_flash *fled_cdev );
not me writing the signature exactly as-is because the kernel does NOT accept creative liberties fr fr π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
fled_cdevβ the flash LED you wanna query. that's it, that's the whole argument, she's a single-parameter queen π
π§ DESCRIPTION π§
so like, here's the tea β β this function goes and gets a flash LED's current brightness, then it updates the led_flash->brightness member with the value it just obtained. it's giving "go check the vibe, then write it down." no cap. π
that's literally it. no extra steps, no hidden drama, just read the brightness and stash it in the right place. π«Ά
β RETURN β
0β slay, it worked, success π- negative error value β something went wrong, it's giving failure energy π
