lwmi_cd_match(9)

🎀 lwmi_cd_match(9) 🎀

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for lwmi_cd_match — genuinely one of the shortest pages ever and yet she's important, so let's get into it bestie 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

lwmi_cd_match — Match rule for the master driver.

like... she's literally the vibe check for the master driver. if the match says no, it's a no. periodt 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int lwmi_cd_match (struct device *dev , void *type );

yup that's the whole thing. no cap, that's it. tiny function, big main character energy 🔥

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — Pointer to the capability data parent device. so like, the parent device holding the capability data — that's the one she's looking at 👀
• type — Pointer to capability data type (enum lwmi_cd_type *) to match. so you're handing her a pointer to the type and she's like "okay does this match or not" 💖

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

int.

that's it. that's the whole return section. the manpage gives us an int and then leaves the group chat without elaborating 😭 no extra words, no explanation of what the int means — so ngl, don't go inventing return values in your head, just take the int and move on 🙈

fr fr though — the page does not document what any specific value means, so don't be out here assuming. the documentation said int and dipped 💀
