💖 `sparse_keymap_report_entry(9)` — the group-chat guide 💖

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for sparse_keymap_report_entry, and it's lowkey giving “tiny function with main character energy” 🌟 We're gonna vibe-check every detail, no skipping, fr fr 💖

NAME 🌸

sparse_keymap_report_entry — report event corresponding to given key entry

SYNOPSIS 💅

void sparse_keymap_report_entry (struct input_dev *dev , const struct key_entry *ke , unsigned int value , bool autorelease );

This is the whole call, bestie — keep it exactly like that, no cap 😌 The way that signature just exists is iconic ✨

ARGUMENTS 🫶

dev — the input device for which the event should be reported. Like, this is the device getting the event, periodt 💫
ke — the key entry describing the event. It's the little descriptor that says what's up ✨
value — the value that should be reported (and yes, it's ignored by KE_SW entries, iykyk 👀)
autorelease — signals whether a release event should be emitted for KE_KEY entries right after reporting press event; it's ignored by all other entries, so don't come for it for those 💅

DESCRIPTION 🦋

This function is used to report input event described by given struct key_entry. That's it, that's the serve — you've got the key entry, and this function reports the event described by it 🌈
