ssam_device_id_compatible(9)

🌸 ssam_device_id_compatible(9) 🌸

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual and the main character today is ssam_device_id_compatible(9). It's giving tiny compatibility check, big match-rule energy ✨.

💖 NAME 💖

ssam_device_id_compatible — check if a device ID matches a UID. periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       bool ssam_device_id_compatible (const struct ssam_device_id *id , struct
       ssam_device_uid uid );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• id — the device ID you're testing as the potential match (const struct ssam_device_id *id). 🎀
• uid — the device UID you're matching against (struct ssam_device_uid uid). 🦋

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: you hand it an id and a uid, and it checks if the given ID is a match for the given UID. Translation? It's checking whether a device with the provided UID is compatible to the given ID, following the match rules described in that ID's ssam_device_id.match_flags member. That's literally the whole assignment, bestie — no cap 😌.

💀 RETURN 💀

It returns true if the given UID is compatible to the match rule described by the given ID, and false otherwise. fr fr, that's the answer 🎀.
