💖 slim_stream_allocate(9) 💖

okay bestie, this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about slim_stream_allocate. It's giving “first step of the SLIMbus streaming saga” energy, and honestly? iconic. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

slim_stream_allocate — Allocate a new SLIMbus Stream

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct slim_stream_runtime * slim_stream_allocate (struct slim_device
*dev , const char *name );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — Slim device to be associated with
• name — name of the stream

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this is the very first call for SLIMbus streaming, bestie. This API will allocate a new SLIMbus stream and return a valid stream runtime pointer for the client to use it in subsequent stream apis. The state of the stream is set to ALLOCATED. periodt. ✨

💅 RETURN 💅

It returns a valid pointer on success and an error code on failure.

From ASoC DPCM framework, this state is linked to startup operation. iykyk. 🫶
