print_pa_hwpath(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to print_pa_hwpath(9) from the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this one returns the hardware path for PA devices, no cap 💅.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

char * print_pa_hwpath (struct parisc_device *dev , char *output );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the device you want the path for 👑
• output — pointer to a previously-allocated array where the path gets placed 🎯

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This function fills in the output array with a human-readable path to a PA device 💖. The string is compatible with that used by PDC, and it may be printed on the outside of the box 🫶 — like, literally a little label vibe, iykyk.
