💅 mpt_verify_adapter — kernel API manual, but make it cute

okay so bestie, welcome to the mpt_verify_adapter(9) page 🎀 this is the kernel API manual vibe, and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, huge friend group." let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

mpt_verify_adapter — given an IOC identifier, set a pointer to its adapter structure. literally that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int mpt_verify_adapter (int iocid , MPT_ADAPTER **iocpp );

like, that's the signature, no notes 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • iocid — the IOC's unique identifier, and yeah it's an integer. this is the little name tag that says which IOC we're talking about 💖
  • iocpp — a pointer to a pointer to the IOC adapter. yes bestie, a double pointer, she's two levels of iconic 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea ☕ you hand over a unique IOC identifier, and this function sets your pointer to the MPT adapter structure that's associated with it. that's it, that's the whole slay ✨

if iocid is found, it returns iocid and sets iocpp for you — main character behavior, honestly 😭

but if iocid is not found? it returns -1. and that's the vibe check failing, ngl 💀 no adapter for you, the pointer stays un-set, we move on.

lowkey important: the return value is doing double duty here, bestie — it's both a success signal and the identifier itself. don't get it twisted 🫶
