tty_ldisc_init(9)

💖 NAME — tty_ldisc_init(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to tty_ldisc_init(9) from the Kernel API Manual 🫶. This page is short and iconic: it’s the ldisc setup for new tty — literally setting up the line discipline objects for a brand-new tty. No cap. ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int tty_ldisc_init (struct tty_struct *tty );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• tty — the tty that’s being allocated ✨. That’s the whole argument, bestie; it’s a struct tty_struct *.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

When you’ve got a freshly allocated tty, this call sets up its line discipline objects 💅. That’s the vibe: new tty, ldisc objects handled.

⚠️ caveat, and it’s important: the tty structure is not completely set up when this call is made. So do not assume it’s fully cooked yet 😭 — it’s still mid-glow-up.
