regulator_get_mode(9)

💖 regulator_get_mode(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to regulator_get_mode(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, that manual. this is the little kernel API page that’s literally about getting the regulator operating mode. no cap. 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

regulator_get_mode — get regulator operating mode 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

unsigned int regulator_get_mode (struct regulator *regulator );

the way that function signature ate, honestly. unsigned int returning, struct regulator *regulator as the argument, trailing space and all — we keep it exact, periodt. 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• regulator — regulator source. that’s the source, bestie; the regulator we’re checking. 🦋

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Get the current regulator operating mode. that’s it, that’s the whole assignment. it’s giving “short king” of a description, but it’s literally the current operating mode of the regulator. main character energy, honestly. 🔥

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Current operating mode as REGULATOR_MODE_* values, or a negative error number on failure. so you get the mode as one of those REGULATOR_MODE_* values, or on failure it’s a negative error number. vibe check: negative number = not slaying. 😭
