💅 snd_hdac_codec_modalias 💅

Okay so bestie, welcome to the snd_hdac_codec_modalias(9) page — it's a Kernel API Manual moment, and honestly? It's a little cutie. Short king energy. Let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

snd_hdac_codec_modalias — give the module alias name

Like, it literally just hands you the module alias name. That's the whole vibe. No cap. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int snd_hdac_codec_modalias (const struct hdac_device *codec , char *buf
, size_t size );

Look at that signature, she's serving exactly what she needs to serve 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • codec — the HDAC device, aka the main character of this whole situation 👑
  • buf — the string buffer where the goods get stored 🍓
  • size — how big that string buffer is, so we don't do anything unhinged in there 🙈

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

Returns the size of the string — exactly like snprintf does — or a negative error code if things go sideways 😭 So yeah, check your return value, bestie, that's the vibe check right there. 🔥

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Go read the kernel file ./sound/hda/core/device.c — the source of truth, the blueprint, the lore 📖 And then there's this whole friend group of related functions, all of them iconic in their own way:

Twenty-seven of them. Twenty-seven! Not me counting. Okay maybe me counting 💀 Anyway, every single one is linked above, go click around, it's giving study group 📚✨

Fr fr though — this page came straight out of ./sound/hda/core, dated October 2026, and that's the whole footer. Mwah 💋 Slay, bye! 🫶💜
