STRUCT MATRIX_KEYMAP_DATA(9)
π struct matrix_keymap_data(9) π
okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie β today's main character is struct matrix_keymap_data(9) and honestly? it's giving "small but essential." let's get into it π
β¨ NAME β¨
struct matrix_keymap_data β the keymap for matrix keyboards, periodt. β¨οΈπ
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
struct matrix_keymap_data {
const uint32_t *keymap;
unsigned int keymap_size;
};
that's it. that's the whole vibe. two fields, zero drama. π¦
π«Ά Members π«Ά
keymapβ a pointer to an array ofuint32values, each one encoded with theKEYmacro, and together they represent the keymap. iykyk β this is the actual map of what key lives where π₯keymap_sizeβ the number of entries (initialized, babe) in this keymap. literally just the count. no cap π
π Description π
so this structure is supposed to be used by platform code to supply keymaps to drivers that implement matrix-like keypads/keyboards. that's the whole job. that's the assignment and it ate. π
platform code β hands over the keymap β driver does driver things. match made in heaven, fr fr β¨
