module_pcmcia_driver(9) 💅

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally about module_pcmcia_driver — the helper macro that's giving “I handle the boring registration stuff so you don't have to” energy. ✨

NAME 🎀

module_pcmcia_driver — a helper macro for registering a pcmcia driver. periodt. 💖

---

SYNOPSIS 🦋

module_pcmcia_driver (__pcmcia_driver );

---

ARGUMENTS 🌸

• __pcmcia_driver — a pcmcia_driver struct. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

---

DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so this is the helper macro for pcmcia drivers that literally do not do anything special in module init/exit. no cap. it's the “you have no main character moment here” macro, and that's iconic of it. 👑

the way it works is it eliminates a lot of boilerplate. like, so much repetitive setup — gone. not me being obsessed with less copy-paste. 😭

bestie, important detail: each module may only use this macro once. one time. not twice. don't try it. 🚨

and calling it replaces module_init and module_exit. so yeah, it's lowkey carrying the whole init/exit situation for you. ✨
