✨ qcom_pas_is_available(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the qcom_pas_is_available page of the Kernel API Manual — and ngl this one is short but it is SO important, like the bouncer at the club checking your ID before you get in 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qcom_pas_is_available — check if the peripheral authentication service is available.

ok so real talk: it is mandatory for any PAS client to invoke this API. Like, not optional, not "if you feel like it", not "later". You call this first. And if it returns true, then — and only then — can any other PAS API be invoked. That's the rule, periodt 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bool qcom_pas_is_available (void );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• void — no arguments. none. zero. the void is giving minimalism and honestly? iconic 🙈

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• true if PAS is available
• otherwise false

that's it, that's the whole vibe check 💖
