💜 scmi_base_vendor_id_get(9) 💜

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — today's main character is scmi_base_vendor_id_get, and honestly? she's giving quiet-legend energy. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

scmi_base_vendor_id_get — gets the vendor/subvendor identifier as an ASCII string 🎀

like, it literally hands you the vibes of who made the thing. iconic behavior.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int scmi_base_vendor_id_get (const struct scmi_protocol_handle *ph ,
       bool sub_vendor );

it returns an int, it takes that handle and a lil bool, and then it's off to do its thing. slay.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ph — the SCMI protocol handle. that's your all-access pass, your VIP wristband, your main character credential 🫶
  • sub_vendor — set this to true if it's the sub-vendor ID you're after. set it to anything else and you're getting the plain vendor ID, bestie. read the room (and the flag) 💅

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success — we love a clean zero, fr fr 🎉

anything else? that's the appropriate SCMI error, and you should probably look at it. no cap, errors are just the universe asking you to check yourself 😭
