nbcon_write_...t_is_braille(9)
π¦ nbcon_write_context_is_braille(9) β straight out of the Kernel API Manual β¨
okay so bestie, welcome to the page π it's short, it's sweet, and it's literally about Braille consoles, which is honestly such main character energy.
β¨ NAME β¨
nbcon_write_context_is_braille β checks whether the nbcon write context is using a Braille console π
Like, that's it. That's the whole job. A little vibe check for your write context.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
bool nbcon_write_context_is_braille (struct nbcon_write_context *wctxt
);
it returns a bool, it takes one pointer, no cap. π«Ά
π ARGUMENTS π
wctxtβ the checked nbcon write context π this is the thing that gets looked at, full stop, that's the assignment.
π RETURN π
- True when the write context is associated with a Braille console π iconic, slay, it's giving Braille.
- Otherwise, return false π like, it's just not that console, no hard feelings.
π CONTEXT π
okay this part matters, so listen up bestie π this one can be called in any context β any, fr fr β BUT only when the Braille console is registered and the struct console could not disappear. Both. At the same time. That's the whole vibe check on where you're allowed to call it, no exceptions, periodt. β
