typec_cable_is_active(9)

🦋 typec_cable_is_active — bestie's guide (section 9, kernel API manual)

okay so this is the typec_cable_is_active(9) page, and honestly? it's a short one. a little snack. a single-question quiz about your USB Type-C cable. let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

typec_cable_is_active — check is the USB Type-C cable active or passive

(yes, the original grammar said "check is" and I'm keeping it, it's giving quirky and we love her for it 🎀)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int typec_cable_is_active (struct typec_cable *cable );

one function, one argument, returns an int. lowkey elegant. no cap.

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• cable — The USB Type-C Cable. that's it. that's the whole argument. hand her your cable struct and she'll tell you what's up ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Return 1 if the cable is active or 0 if it's passive.

that's genuinely the entire description, bestie. one sentence. icon behavior. you pass in the cable, she gives you back a 1 (active 💅) or a 0 (passive 🍓). no in-between, no maybe, no "it's complicated." a binary vibe check and she ate.

ngl if you're expecting more lore here, there isn't any — this page is short and she knows it. respect the minimalism 🔥
