snd_ctl_enum_info(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, this is snd_ctl_enum_info(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and its whole job is literally filling the info structure for an enumerated control. main character energy for a tiny helper, honestly 💅✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int snd_ctl_enum_info (struct snd_ctl_elem_info *info , unsigned int channels , unsigned int items , const char *const names[] );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • info — the structure to be filled. that's the one getting the glow-up 💖
  • channels — the number of the control's channels; often one. yes, often just one, and that's valid 🎀
  • items — the number of control values; also the size of names. so like, the count does double duty, iykyk 🌟
  • names — an array containing the names of all control values. every value gets a name, no cap 🦋

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Sets all required fields in info to their appropriate values. it's giving "fill in the blanks" but make it kernel-core 🌈

If the control's accessibility is not the default (readable and writable), the caller has to fill info->access. so bestie, if you're doing something non-default, that part is on you — don't forget it, fr fr 😭

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Zero (always successful). like, always. zero and successful, periodt 👑✨

🌟 SEE ALSO 🌟

Kernel file ./sound/core/control.c is part of the whole vibe, and these functions are all right there with it:
