of_alias_get_id(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to of_alias_get_id(9) from the Kernel API Manual ✨ This one gets the alias id for the given device_node — that's literally the whole name vibe, and it's iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

The signature is giving exactly this, no cap:

int of_alias_get_id (const struct device_node *np , const char *stem );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• np — pointer to the given device_node 🫶
• stem — alias stem of the given device_node 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the function travels the lookup table to get the alias id for the given device_node and alias stem. That's the lore, bestie — lookup table travel, alias id acquired, main character energy ⭐

👑 RETURN 👑
