module_slim_driver(9)

💖 module_slim_driver(9) 💖

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's about one tiny little macro that saves you SO much typing. slay.

---

✨ NAME ✨

module_slim_driver — the helper macro that registers a SLIMbus driver for you 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

module_slim_driver (__slim_driver );

like yes that's the whole thing, she's compact 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• __slim_driver — the slimbus_driver struct you're handing over ✨ literally just your driver struct, that's it

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

mkay so picture this: you've got a SLIMbus driver and it does nothing special in module init/exit. no fancy setup, no dramatic exit routine, nothing. and you're sitting there writing boilerplate like a clown 😭 not anymore bestie.

This helper macro is for exactly those SLIMbus drivers that don't do anything special in module init/exit — and it eliminates a lot of boilerplate ✨ it's giving "let the macro handle it, you go live your life" 💅

🚨 the vibes check: each module may only use this macro once. one (1) time. and calling it replaces module_init and module_exit — so don't go doubling up, iykyk 🙈
