snd_hdac_de...et_chip_name(9)

🎧 snd_hdac_device_set_chip_name — like, the whole manual, bestie ✨

okay so real talk, this is page snd_hdac_device_set_chip_name(9) from the Kernel API Manual (yes the header up top got chopped to snd_hdac_de...et_chip_name(9) — tragic, she's been through a lot, but it's her 💅). Buckle up, we're setting codec names today and it's gonna be iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

snd_hdac_device_set_chip_name — set/update the codec name, no cap.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int snd_hdac_device_set_chip_name (struct hdac_device *codec , const
char *name );

like, two args, one int back. that's the whole vibe.

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• codec — the HDAC device. the main character, obviously. this is who's getting a name.
• name — the name string you wanna set. give her a label, she deserves it 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Returns 0 if the name is set or updated — slay, success, we love to see it.

Any other outcome? That's a negative error code 😭 so like, check your return value, don't just assume it ate. fr fr.
