💅 snd_hda_gen_check_power_status(9) — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for snd_hda_gen_check_power_status — yes the header up top says snd_hda_gen_...power_status(9) because it got truncated and honestly? relatable. anyway. this is the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

snd_hda_gen_check_power_status — check the loopback power save state 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int snd_hda_gen_check_power_status (struct hda_codec *codec , hda_nid_t
nid );

like literally that's the whole signature, no cap. it hands you back an int and takes two things. 👑

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • codec — the HDA codec 💖 that's the thing you're poking at.
  • nid — the NID to inspect 🔍 (yes, just the one NID, she's a single-target icon).

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

so what does it do?? it checks the loopback power save state. that's the assignment. 📋

and here's the slay part: this function can be put as the hda_codec_ops check_power_status function. so you can just drop her in there and she'll do the job. main character energy fr fr. 💅
