💖 pinctrl_generic_get_group_pins (9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about pinctrl_generic_get_group_pins — say that five times fast, i literally dare you 🫶. it's giving "small function, big responsibilities," and honestly? she ate. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

pinctrl_generic_get_group_pins — gets the pin group pins 👑

like, it literally fetches the pins that belong to a pin group. that's the whole vibe check. no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int pinctrl_generic_get_group_pins (struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev ,
unsigned int selector , const unsigned int **pins , unsigned int
*num_pins );

four arguments, one int coming back at you. she's compact, she's iconic, she's literally in ./drivers/pinctrl/core.c somewhere living her best life 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pctldev — the pin controller device, aka the main character of this whole operation 👑
• selector — the group number. like the group's little ID badge 🪪
• pins — the pins in the group. yes, that's the whole point of the function, we love a self-explanatory parameter ✨
• num_pins — the number of pins in the group. the count, the tally, the receipts 🧾
