of_changeset..._prop_string(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 of_changeset_add_prop_string(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes we're literally reading kernel docs together, this is our bonding era 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

of_changeset_add_prop_string — adds a string property to a changeset. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int of_changeset_add_prop_string (struct of_changeset *ocs , struct
device_node *np , const char *prop_name , const char *str );

like, look at her. four params, one int coming back. main character energy fr 👑

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • ocs — the changeset pointer 💅 this is the little container your changes go into
  • np — the device node pointer, aka where this property is headed
  • prop_name — the name of the property you're adding, pick something cute (or, yk, semantically correct)
  • str — a pointer to a null terminated string. null terminated!! don't forget the terminator, i'm begging 😭

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the way this works is: you create a string property, and then you add it to a changeset. that's the entire thing. no cap. 🦋

like it's giving "small but essential." iconic behaviour honestly.

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success — slay, we ate 💅✨
  • a negative error value in case of an error — not slay, but at least it tells you 😭
ngl bestie, always check the return value. negative numbers are NOT the vibe and they are NOT success.
