scmi_get_protocol_priv(9)

💅 scmi_get_protocol_priv(9) — the Kernel API Manual, but make it cute ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for scmi_get_protocol_priv(9) — yes that whole long name is the vibe, and honestly? It ate. 💖 Let's get into it.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

scmi_get_protocol_priv — literally just "set protocol specific data at init time." That's the whole assignment, no cap. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void * scmi_get_protocol_priv (const struct scmi_protocol_handle *ph );

Look at her. One function, one argument, one return type with a little * sparkle. Iconic behavior. 👑

---

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• ph — a reference to the protocol handle. That's it, that's the whole guest list for this party. 🫶

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

It hands you back the protocol private data — but only if any was actually set. If nothing was set, don't expect a magical gift, bestie. 😭
