tty_standard_install(9)

🦋 tty_standard_install(9) — the usual tty->ops->install 🦋

okay bestie, welcome to this little slice of the Kernel API Manual ✨. We're talking about tty_standard_install(9), and it is exactly the kind of “standard install but callable” situation that makes kernel tty code feel lowkey iconic 💅.

🌸 NAME 🌸

tty_standard_install — the usual tty->ops->install 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int tty_standard_install (struct tty_driver *driver , struct tty_struct
       *tty );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• driver — the driver for the tty. like, the driver that’s driving the tty vibe, bestie 🚗💖
• tty — the tty. literally the tty itself, main character energy 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So here’s the vibe check: if the driver overrides tty->ops->install, it still can call this function to perform the standard install operations. No cap. That’s the whole slay. ✨
