module_usb_driver(9)

💅 module_usb_driver(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "little macro that could." let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

module_usb_driver — the helper macro for registering a USB driver. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

module_usb_driver (__usb_driver );

literally just call it with your driver and go. periodt. 👑

---

⭐ ARGUMENTS ⭐

• __usb_driver — your usb_driver struct. that's the one. hand it over. 🫶

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea ☕ — this is a helper macro for USB drivers which do not do anything special in module init/exit. like, if your init and exit are just "register" and "unregister" and nothing else?? bestie you do not need to write all that out. this macro eliminates a lot of boilerplate. ate and left no crumbs. 🔥

⚠️ but listen, this part matters: each module may only use this macro once, and calling it replaces module_init and module_exit. so no cap, don't double up on this one — it's a one-per-module situation, iykyk. 🙈
