snd_hda_override_pin_caps(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the snd_hda_override_pin_caps(9) page in the Kernel API Manual — this is the override-the-pin-capabilities moment, and yes the manual name is right there so you can cite it in the group chat 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

snd_hda_override_pin_caps — override the pin capabilities. that's the name, and it's giving exactly what it says on the tin 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int snd_hda_override_pin_caps (struct hda_codec *codec , hda_nid_t nid ,
unsigned int caps );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• codec — the CODEC. like, the codec in question 💖
• nid — the NID to override 🎯
• caps — the capability bits to set ✨

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Override the cached PIN capabilitiy bits value by the given one. lowkey that's the whole vibe, bestie: you hand it a caps value and it becomes the cached PIN capabilitiy bits value 💅

Returns zero if successful or a negative error code. so: success gives you zero, anything negative is the error-code ick 😭
