💖 link_detect_..._type_analog(9) 💖

okay so this little icon is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's basically the analog-sink detective of the kernel world 🔍✨. No cap, it's here to check the vibe of an analog connection and report back.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

link_detect_connection_type_analog — literally determines if an analog sink is connected. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool link_detect_connection_type_analog (struct dc_link *link , enum dc_connection_type *type );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• link — the DC link to evaluate, bestie. It must support analog signalling. 🫶
• type — gets updated with the detected connection type: dc_connection_single (analog via DDC), dc_connection_analog_load (via load-detect), or dc_connection_none. The way it just fills in the answer is iconic. ✨

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

true if detection completed. Periodt. 💯
