procmpt_create(9)

💅 procmpt_create — a Kernel API Manual moment (section 9, bestie)

okay so you found a procmpt_create(9) page, welcome, this is the Kernel API Manual and we're in section 9 and honestly? it's a little guy. tiny page. huge SEE ALSO. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

procmpt_create — Create %MPT_PROCFS_MPTBASEDIR entries.

that's it. that's the whole name section. she's concise 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int procmpt_create (void );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• void — no arguments. nothing. zero. empty. the function said "i need nobody" and honestly, main character energy 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Returns 0 for success, non-zero for failure.

that's the whole description, bestie. no lore, no backstory, no paragraphs about the PCI bus. it returns 0 when it works and something that is not 0 when it doesn't. iykyk 😭

ngl the vibe check here is: 0 = slay, non-zero = not slay. check the return value, always. periodt.
