qcom_scm_qseecom_app_get_id(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💜 qcom_scm_qseecom_app_get_id — NAME 💜

okay bestie, so this is qcom_scm_qseecom_app_get_id from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the function that queries the app ID for a given QSEE app name. that's it, that's the whole job. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int qcom_scm_qseecom_app_get_id(const char *app_name , u32 *app_id );

she takes two things and gives you back an int, no cap. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • app_name — the name of the app. yeah, just the name. the string-y identity of your little SEE app. 📛
  • app_id — the returned app ID. it's a u32 *, so you hand her a pointer and she fills it in for you. that's the tea. ☕

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what she does is: query and return the application ID of the SEE app that's identified by the given name. 🔍

and this returned ID? it's not just some random number, bestie — it's the unique identifier of the app, and you need it for subsequent communication. like, it's your VIP wristband. no ID, no talking to the app. periodt. 💅

🔥 RETURN 🔥

  • Zero on success ✨
  • nonzero on failure 💀
  • -ENOENT if the app has not been loaded or could not be found 😭 (like, she looked everywhere and the app just wasn't there)
ngl, always check the return value, okay? -ENOENT means your app ghosted you. 🙈
