parport_announce_port(9)

💖 parport_announce_port(9) — NAME 💖

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for parport_announce_port, bestie. it’s the “tell device drivers about a parallel port” function, and honestly it’s giving launch-day announcement energy. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void parport_announce_port (struct parport *port );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• port — the parallel port to announce. literally hand over the port you want everyone to know about, that’s the whole vibe. 💅

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here’s the tea, bestie: after a port driver has registered a parallel port with parport_register_port, and performed any necessary initialisation or adjustments, it should call parport_announce_port in order to notify all device drivers that have called parport_register_driver. their attach functions will be called, with port as the parameter. 🫶

no cap, this is the part where everyone who’s registered gets the memo, and port is the main character. 🌟
