STRUCT PROPERTY_ENTRY(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct property_entry(9) — the literal it-girl of “Built-in” device property representation. no cap, she’s iconic. 💅✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

struct property_entry — “Built-in” device property representation. that’s the whole vibe, and honestly she ate. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here’s the shape of her, bestie — copy it exactly, don’t freestyle the braces 🫶

       struct property_entry {
           const char *name;
           size_t length;
           bool is_inline;
           enum dev_prop_type type;
           union {
             const void *pointer;
             union {
             } value;
           };
        };

🌸 Members 🌸

okay so these are the members, and every single one matters:

• name — Name of the property. literally the property’s name, periodt.
• length — Length of data making up the value. how long the data making up the value is, bestie.
• is_inline — True when the property value is stored inline. true when the property value is stored inline — that’s the vibe check.
• type — Type of the data in unions. the type of the data in unions, plural, no cap.
• {unnamed_union} — anonymous. yep, that’s the entire description 💀 iconic in a mysterious way.
• pointer — Pointer to the property when it is not stored inline. pointer to the property when it’s not stored inline.
• value — Value of the property when it is stored inline. value of the property when it’s stored inline.
