💅 snd_info_cre...module_entry(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, right, and you need an info entry that belongs to a specific module. That's literally this function. It's giving backstage-pass energy. Let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

snd_info_create_module_entry — create an info entry for the given module 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct snd_info_entry * snd_info_create_module_entry (struct module *
module , const char *name , struct snd_info_entry *parent );

yelp, copy it exactly like that, bestie, don't get creative with the spacing, the compiler does NOT find it cute 😭

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• module — the module pointer. yeah. the module. the actual one. 👑
• name — the file name. that's the name of the file, bestie, no cap. 🍓
• parent — the parent directory. it's the folder it lives in, iykyk. 💜

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Creates a new info entry and assigns it to the given module. that's it. that's the whole vibe. new entry, goes to the module, slay 💅

⭐ RETURN ⭐

The pointer of the new instance, or NULL on failure. so like… check it. please check it. NULL is the "not me getting a null pointer" moment and we do NOT want that for you 🙈

fr fr always vibe-check that return value, bestie — NULL means it did not work out 💀
