okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β€” this is the page for module_comedi_pci_driver, and yes it's a macro, and yes it's about to save you so much typing 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

module_comedi_pci_driver β€” the lil helper macro that handles registering a comedi PCI driver for you, no cap πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

module_comedi_pci_driver (__comedi_driver , __pci_driver );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • __comedi_driver β€” your comedi_driver struct, literally just hand it over πŸ’–
  • __pci_driver β€” and your pci_driver struct, same vibe ✨

πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

So here's the tea β˜• β€” this is a helper macro for comedi PCI drivers that don't do anything special in module_init/module_exit. It's giving "I have nothing extra to say" energy, and honestly? iconic.

Using it eliminates a lot of boilerplate. Like, a ridiculous amount. You're welcome 🫢

⚠️ real talk though: each module may only use this macro once, and calling it replaces module_init and module_exit. So don't double up, bestie, that's not the move πŸ’€
