πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct xhci_sideband_event(9) β€” Kernel API Manual, bestie edition

okay so you're reading the manual page for struct xhci_sideband_event(9), from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a short one. a little baby struct. but we're gonna understand it properly, no cap πŸ’–


✨ NAME ✨

struct xhci_sideband_event β€” literally a sideband event. that's the whole vibe. it's the struct that carries a sideband event around πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the shape of it, exactly, no edits from me:

struct xhci_sideband_event {
    enum xhci_sideband_notify_type type;
    void *evt_data;
};

two members. two. it's giving minimal, it's giving main character energy πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ Members πŸ¦‹

type

the notifier type β€” and its type is enum xhci_sideband_notify_type, so like. it's an enum, bestie. it tells you what kind of notification this is πŸ”₯

evt_data

the event data. it's a void *, which means it's a pointer to... whatever the event data actually is. classic void * behavior tbh β€” all vibes, no declared type πŸ™ˆ
