💅 qmi_handle_init(9) — like, the kernel API manual page, bestie 🎀

okay so this is qmi_handle_init, straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally the glow-up moment for a QMI client handle ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

qmi_handle_init — initialize a QMI client handle 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int qmi_handle_init (struct qmi_handle *qmi , size_t recv_buf_size ,
const struct qmi_ops *ops , const struct qmi_msg_handler *handlers );

like yes bestie, that's the whole signature, no cap 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • qmi — the QMI handle you're about to initialize. this is the main character of the function, obviously 👑
  • recv_buf_size — the maximum size of an incoming message. bigger buffer = more room for messages to vibe in 🧺
  • ops — a reference to the callbacks for QRTR notifications. your little notification squad 🌈
  • handlers — a NULL-terminated list of QMI message handlers. yes, it's NULL-terminated, don't forget the guard, iykyk 💀

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So what this does is initialize the QMI client handle so it can send and receive QMI messages 🎀 That's it, that's the whole vibe.

And here's the cute part: as messages are received, the appropriate handler gets invoked. like the right handler just shows up at the right time, unproblematic, ate 💅✨

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success 😌🌸
  • negative errno on failure 😭💀
