sysfs_create_group(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the sysfs_create_group(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this one is literally: given a directory kobject, create an attribute group. that’s the whole vibe 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       int sysfs_create_group (struct kobject *kobj , const struct
       attribute_group *grp );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• kobj — the kobject you’re putting the group on — like, the kobject to create the group on 🫶
• grp — the attribute group you want to create — yep, the attribute group to create 🌸

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this function creates a group for the first time, periodt. it is not being subtle about it: it will explicitly warn and error if any of the attribute files being created already exist 😭 like, no quietly overwriting, no “oopsie,” it warns and errors, fr fr.

return vibe check: 0 on success, or an error code on failure. that’s it, that’s the whole thing 💜
