okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and it's all about pcmcia_loop_config β literally the function that loops over your configuration options for you. it's giving "let me just check every single one, no big deal" energy and honestly? iconic. π
β¨ NAME β¨
pcmcia_loop_config β loop over configuration options π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int pcmcia_loop_config (struct pcmcia_device *p_dev , int (*conf_check)
(struct pcmcia_device *p_dev, void *priv_data) , void *priv_data );
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
p_devβ thestruct pcmcia_devicethat we need to loop for. that's the one, the main character of this whole operation πconf_checkβ the function to call for each configuration option. it gets passed thestruct pcmcia_deviceand the private data being passed topcmcia_loop_config. so it's fully in the loop, iykyk π«Άpriv_dataβ private data to be passed to theconf_checkfunction. mwah, delivered straight to your callback π
π§ DESCRIPTION π§
so here's the tea, bestie: pcmcia_loop_config loops over all the configuration options β every last one β and calls the driver-specific conf_check for each one, checking whether it's a valid one. like a vibe check but for config options, and honestly it's doing the most so you don't have to π
it returns 0 on success, or errorcode otherwise. no cap. β¨

like, go read those too, they're all in their tuple era and it's lowkey fascinating π
π reminder bestie: always check the return value β 0 means slay, anything else means something went sideways.
okay that's the page!! this one lives in ./drivers/pcmcia and it's dated October 2026 β yes, the future, we love a forward-thinking manpage β mwah, bye bestie ππ¦β¨
