💅 mux_type(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — folded in near the top just like you asked, cute and casual. This page is mux_type(9), and it's lowkey a tiny little icon. Let's get into it. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

mux_type — Describe the port. That's it. That's the assignment. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

const char * mux_type (struct uart_port *port );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• port — Ptr to the uart_port. 🫶

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So mux_type returns a pointer to a string constant, and that string constant describes the specified port. Like, you hand it the port, it gives you back the descriptive string-constant pointer. That's the whole vibe. ✨
