transport_class_register(9)

💖 transport_class_register(9) 💖

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — this is the entry for transport_class_register(9), and it's literally about registering an initial transport class. slay. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

transport_class_register — register an initial transport class 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int transport_class_register (struct transport_class *tclass );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• tclass — a pointer to the transport_class structure that's getting initialised. that's the whole argument, bestie 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so a transport_class contains an embedded class, and that embedded class is what's used to identify it. iconic little setup, honestly. 💅

the caller should initialise this structure with zeros, and then the generic class must have been initialised with the actual transport class unique name. yes, that exact order — zeroes first, unique name on the generic class after. 🔥

there's a macro DECLARE_TRANSPORT_CLASS to do this for you — but heads up, bestie: declared classes still must be registered. no skipping the register step, iykyk. 🌈

returns 0 on success, or an error on failure. periodt. 💀
