of_device_modalias(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this is of_device_modalias(9) from the Kernel API Manual — and its whole job is literally right there in the name: of_device_modalias fills a buffer with a newline terminated modalias string. That's it. That's the vibe. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ssize_t of_device_modalias (struct device *dev , char *str , ssize_t len
       );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the calling device. the main character device, if you will 👑
• str — the modalias string. this is the buffer getting the string treatment 💅
• len — size of str. yes, it's giving "know your buffer size" energy 🫶

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

• Kernel file ./drivers/of/device.c — plus the whole friend group: of_match_device(9), of_dma_configure_id(9), of_device_uevent(9), of_device_make_bus_id(9) 🌈
