okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — this is the page for typec_find_port_data_role(9) and it's short but it serves 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

typec_find_port_data_role — go get that typec port data capability, queen 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int typec_find_port_data_role (const char *name );

literally just hand it a name and it goes looking, no cap 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • name — the port data capability string, aka the name you're matching against. that's the whole vibe check right there 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this routine is used to find the typec_port_data by its string name. you give it the name, it finds the thing. icon behaviour, honestly ✨

and then — the payoff 🎉 — it returns typec_port_data if success, otherwise a negative error code. so like, if it ate, you get your data; if it didn't, you get a negative error code and you go 😭.

ngl bestie, negative error code means it did not slay, so check your name string before you start spiralling 💀
