rc_g_keycode_from_table(9)

💖 rc_g_keycode_from_table(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual tea session — today's main character is rc_g_keycode_from_table, and yes she's exactly what her name says she is 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

rc_g_keycode_from_table — gets the keycode that corresponds to a scancode 🌸

like, that's literally the whole job. scancode goes in, keycode comes out. iconic behavior honestly.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

u32 rc_g_keycode_from_table (struct rc_dev *dev , u64 scancode );

copy it exactly like that, no cap 🔥

---

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• dev — the struct rc_dev descriptor of the device 🫶 that's your device's little ID card basically
• scancode — the scancode to look for 👀 the thing you're hunting through the table for

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the vibe: this routine is used by drivers which need to convert a scancode to a keycode. that's it, that's the function 💜

but bestie, listen — normally it should not be used, because drivers should have no interest in keycodes. like, that's not their lane. stay in your lane, driver. 🙈

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

the corresponding keycode, or KEY_RESERVED 🎀

so if the search slays you get your keycode, and if it doesn't you get KEY_RESERVED. the end. periodt. 💀
