pin_get_name(9)

💖 pin_get_name(9) — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (the 9 section, kernel internals, very demure very mindful) and it's about pin_get_name. literally just: you hand it a pin id, it hands you back the name. matchmaker vibes 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

pin_get_name — look up a pin name from a pin id 🔍✨

like, you've got the number, now you want the name. iconic behavior tbh.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const char * pin_get_name (struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev , const unsigned
int pin );

she returns a const char * and takes two things. no cap, that's the whole signature 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pctldev — the pin control device to lookup the pin on 🧚 this is the device you're searching inside, so like, know where you're looking before you go looking.
• pin — pin number/id to look up 💅 the numeric id you're trying to turn into a name.
