typec_partner_set_identity(9)

💅 typec_partner_set_identity — the Kernel API Manual, section 9, bestie 🎀

okay so, picture this: you're deep in the kernel, section 9 of the manual, and somebody just finished the Discover Identity USB power delivery command. this little function is literally just the messenger that goes "bestie, the identity values are IN." that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

typec_partner_set_identity — report the result from the Discover Identity command, no cap 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int typec_partner_set_identity (struct typec_partner *partner );

like, it takes one thing and gives you back an int. simple. iconic. periodt. 💜

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• partner — the partner whose identity values got updated. this is the main character of the whole call, the one holding the freshly-discovered identity tea ☕ 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the situation: this routine is what you call to report that the result of the Discover Identity USB power delivery command has become available. that's it — you're just announcing it into the world, and the partner you pass in is the one carrying those updated identity values. the way that the kernel just needs to know, you know? it's giving "she's here and she has information." 🔥

ngl, there's nothing sneaky here — no hidden behaviour, no weird side quests. it reports the result. that's the assignment and it ate. 💅
