snd_soc_put_strobe(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 snd_soc_put_strobe — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so this is snd_soc_put_strobe(9), straight out of the kernel API manual, and it's lowkey iconic for how tiny it is. Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

snd_soc_put_strobe — the strobe put callback. that's it. that's the whole name. no notes 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int snd_soc_put_strobe (struct snd_kcontrol *kcontrol , struct
       snd_ctl_elem_value *ucontrol );

literally two args, one int coming back. clean, minimal, main character energy 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • kcontrol — the mixer control. yeah. that one. the control you're mixin' with 🎛️
  • ucontrol — the control element information. it's giving "here's the actual data, bestie" 📦

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does this thing actually do? it's a callback that strokes—sorry, strobes—a register bit from high to low (or the inverse, if that's the vibe), and it does it all in one pass of a single mixer enum control. one and done. no cap. 🦋

and the return? it returns 1 for success. yeah, 1. not 0. 1. the way that zero is usually success and this one just decided to be different — we respect it 🙈

⚠️ heads up bestie: success here is 1, so if you're out here checking for 0 like it's a normal C function, do a little vibe check on your own code first 😭

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

kernel file ./sound/soc/soc-ops.c is where the magic lives, and it's got friends — like, a whole group chat of them:

iykyk — this is the whole soc-ops squad and you should absolutely go read all of them 🌈

and that's the page, bestie! 🎉 this lil masterpiece lives in the ./sound/soc directory, dated October 2026, and it's filed under the snd_soc_put_strobe(9) manual slot. go strobe something iconic 💖✨🧚
