STRUCT DFL_CHARDEV_INFO(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

struct dfl_chardev_info β€” the chardev info of a dfl feature device, bestie ✨

Like, it's the little bundle of facts that tells you everything about a char device: what it's called and where it lives in devt-land. That's it, that's the whole vibe πŸŽ€ (and no, it's not the Kernel API Manual β€” that's just the manual it lives in, okay? group chat clarified it πŸ’…)


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct dfl_chardev_info {
    const char *name;
    dev_t devt;
};

Two members. Two. And they're both doing their little jobs. Iconic behavior, honestly 🫢


🌸 Members 🌸

  • name β€” the name string of the char device 🏷️ (fun fact: the original page spells it "nmae" and like… same, girl, my fingers do that too 😭 but it's name, promise)
  • devt β€” the devt of the char device. Yes. It's giving "the thing is the thing" πŸ’€ it's the device number, and it's right there, being a dev_t, living its main character life πŸ‘‘

Okay so this is the part where the page just links its entire friend group. No gatekeeping πŸ’… all of these are (9) kernel API pages, go say hi:

ngl the double-underscore on __dfl_fpga_cdev_find_port_data(9) is lowkey intimidating and I respect it πŸ™ˆ

okay that's the whole page, you ate that πŸ’…βœ¨

Sign-off time, because the footer deserves its moment too πŸŽ€ this one comes to you from ./drivers/fpga, dated October 2026 β€” yes, 2026, we're manifesting the future, and it's still titled struct dfl_chardev_info(9). byeee, go read the whole friend group πŸ¦‹πŸ’œ
