snd_soc_com...et_jack_type(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

snd_soc_com...et_jack_type(9) — okay so bestie, the description here is literally blank, like the manpage author just woke up and chose mystery 💀. The function is snd_soc_component_get_jack_type, and that's genuinely all the NAME section gives us. No cap.

This one lives in the Kernel API Manual, hi bestie, welcome to the kernel docs ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int snd_soc_component_get_jack_type (struct snd_soc_component *component);

It gives back an int, takes exactly one arg, and honestly that's the whole vibe. Clean. Iconic. No notes. 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • component — that's your COMPONENT. Yes, the original really just says "COMPONENTs" and leaves it there 🫶. You passed it in, you know what it is, slay.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does it actually do? It returns the jack type of the component. Periodt. 💜

And here's the fun part — that jack type can be either:

  • the supported type, i.e. the one the thing just inherently has, or
  • one that got read from devicetree using the property jack-type 🌈

So basically it's giving "I already know my type" OR "I looked it up in devicetree and that's my type now." Either way, you get a jack type back. Main character energy fr fr ✨
