💅 regulator_bulk_enable(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for regulator_bulk_enable — yes it's a real manual page, yes it's a C function, no you can't skip it, it's literally on the syllabus 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

regulator_bulk_enable — enable multiple regulator consumers, like, all at once, main character energy only 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int regulator_bulk_enable (int num_consumers , struct
       regulator_bulk_data *consumers );

that's it. that's the whole signature. no cap. 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • num_consumers — the number of consumers. like, how many of them there are. count them. ✨
  • consumers — the consumer data; clients are stored here. this is where all your little consumer besties live. 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so this convenience API lets consumers enable multiple regulator clients in a single API call. one call. not ten. not a for-loop you wrote at 3am. one. 🔥

and here's the icon behaviour ngl: if any consumers cannot be enabled then any others that were enabled will be disabled again prior to return. it's giving "we go up together or nobody goes up" 😭 the way it cleans up after itself before it even returns… obsessed. 💅

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success, or a negative error number on failure. that's the vibe check. if you get 0 you ate. if you get negative, bestie, something went off. 😭

like I said. whole family reunion. 🧚💜

friendly reminder from your local unix girlie: this whole page comes from ./drivers/regulator, dated October 2026, and yes it's still filed under regulator_bulk_enable(9) — so if you cite it, cite it cute. 🍓✨
