of_property_read_bool(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to of_property_read_bool(9) — that's the title — and this whole page is from the Kernel API Manual. 💖 The name is literally Find a property: of_property_read_bool goes looking for a property. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

this is the signature, no cap — copy it exactly:

bool of_property_read_bool (const struct device_node *np , const char
       *propname );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• np — the device node from which the property value is to be read. it's giving "where we're reading from" energy, fr fr.
• propname — the name of the property to be searched. yes, the string you're hunting for. 🔍

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so what it does: search for a boolean property in a device node. simple, iconic, done. ✨

using it on non-boolean property types is deprecated — like, deprecated deprecated. so keep it boolean, bestie. 💀

🔥 RETURN 🔥

true if the property exists, false otherwise. that's it. that's the whole return vibe. 👑
