typec_find_orientation(9)

💅 typec_find_orientation — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one tiny little helper that turns a string into an enum. lowkey iconic. let's go ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

typec_find_orientation — literally just here to convert an orientation string into the typec_orientation enum 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int typec_find_orientation (const char *name );

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. one arg, one int coming back atcha 💖

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• name — the orientation string, i.e. the name you're trying to look up 🍓

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so this routine's whole job? finding the typec_orientation by its string name — the thing you passed in as name. no cap, that's the assignment and it ate 🔥

it returns the orientation value on success. and if it doesn't succeed? negative error code, bestie 😭 that's your sign something went sideways.

ngl, if you get a negative number back, don't just vibe with it — that means it failed. main character energy is checking your return values 💜
