rfkill_register(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the rfkill_register(9) page in the Kernel API Manual — yes, we're folding that manual name right in near the top because we're cute like that. The actual function is rfkill_register, and it registers a rfkill structure. Periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the exact signature, no cap:

int rfkill_register (struct rfkill *rfkill );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• rfkill — the rfkill structure to be registered. That's the whole arg, bestie.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This function should be called by the transmitter driver to register the rfkill structure. Before calling this function, the driver needs to be ready to service method calls from rfkill — like, be ready, not scrambling at the last minute, iykyk.

If rfkill_init_sw_state is not called before registration, set_block will be called to initialize the software blocked state to a default value.

If the hardware blocked state is not set before registration, it is assumed to be unblocked. No cap, that's just how it is.
