✨ NAME ✨

like, it knocks on the door of one very particular me client and asks "hey bestie, can we connect?" 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int mei_hbm_cl_connect_req (struct mei_device *dev , struct mei_cl *cl );

returns an int, takes two things, done. no cap. ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • dev — the device structure 💻 (this is the main character of the hardware side of things)
  • cl — a client to connect to 🎀 (the specific one we're sliding into the DMs of)

🔥 RETURN 🔥

  • -EIO on write failure 💀
heads up: that's the only return value listed here, so if the write fails, -EIO is what you get. write failure = bad vibes, no connection. 😭
