💖 snd_hda_gen_hp_automute(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes we're in that part of the kernel, the sound one, and today's main character is the standard HP-automute helper 🎧💅 ngl she's small but she's doing important work.

🌸 NAME 🌸

snd_hda_gen_hp_automute — the standard HP-automute helper, periodt 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void snd_hda_gen_hp_automute (struct hda_codec *codec , struct
       hda_jack_callback *jack );

like, that's the whole signature, she takes two things and hands back void (she's a giver, not a taker 🫶).

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• codec — the HDA codec 💜 iykyk, she lives here.
• jack — the jack object, or NULL for the whole 🌈 (yep, that's literally what the manpage says, no notes, we respect it).
