tc_match_device(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, this is tc_match_device(9) from the Kernel API Manual — and it's here to tell if a TC device structure has a matching TC device ID structure. That's the whole name vibe. periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the exact signature, no cap:

const struct tc_device_id * tc_match_device (const struct tc_driver
*tdrv , struct tc_dev *tdev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• tdrv — the TC driver to earch for matching TC device ID strings. (And yes, the page really says earch — I'm not fixing it, that's canon 💀)
• tdev — the TC device structure to match against.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

A driver uses this to check whether a TC device present in the system is in its list of supported devices. It returns the matching tc_device_id structure, or NULL if there is no match. That's it, that's the tea 🍓.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file ./drivers/tc/tc-driver.c — plus these besties:

• tc_register_driver(9)
• tc_unregister_driver(9)
• tc_bus_match(9)

Okay bye bestie 💖 source/version: ./drivers/tc; date: October 2026. Stay matching, slay, and check your IDs 🫶✨
