mipi_dsi_create_packet(9)

💅 mipi_dsi_create_packet 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a little function called mipi_dsi_create_packet, and lowkey it's giving ✨glow-up-for-your-messages✨ energy. no cap, it's the moment a plain lil message gets dressed up into a full-on DSI protocol packet 🎀

---

🦋 NAME 🦋

mipi_dsi_create_packet — create a packet from a message according to the DSI protocol 💖

like literally, it takes your message and turns it into a packet the DSI way. iconic behavior, honestly 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int mipi_dsi_create_packet (struct mipi_dsi_packet *packet , const
struct mipi_dsi_msg *msg );

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• packet — pointer to a DSI packet structure 🎀 this is where the packet lands, bestie. it's the destination vibes.
• msg — message to translate into a packet 🦋 the raw material, the main character, the thing getting converted.

---

💖 RETURN 💖

0 on success, or a negative error code on failure 😭 so like, zero means slay, negative means something went sideways. periodt.
