💅 scancode_to_u64 — a Kernel API Manual moment (section 9, kernel functions, iykyk)

okay so bestie, welcome to the scancode_to_u64(9) page. yes it's giving "tiny function, huge friend group" energy, and honestly? we're obsessed. it does exactly one thing and it does it slayfully. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

scancode_to_u64 — literally converts a scancode that lives inside a &struct input_keymap_entry. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int scancode_to_u64 (const struct input_keymap_entry *ke , u64 *scancode
);

like, look at her. two args, one int return, zero drama 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ke — the keymap entry that's holding the scancode you wanna convert. she's the main character here, the source material fr fr.
• scancode — a pointer to the spot where the converted scancode is supposed to land. like, you hand her an address and she fills it in. that's the assignment and she ate. 🍓

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what is this actually doing? scancode_to_u64 is a version of input_scancode_to_scalar that's specialized for rc-core. that's it. that's the tea. ☕

like, not me being a whole specialized variant of input_scancode_to_scalar just for rc-core — she's niche and she knows it and that's iconic 👑
