typec_register_port(9)

💖 NAME 💖

typec_register_port — Register a USB Type-C Port 👑 and yes bestie, this is typec_register_port(9) from the Kernel API Manual, so you know it's official ✨

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

struct typec_port * typec_register_port (struct device *parent , const
       struct typec_capability *cap );

🧾 ARGUMENTS 🧾

• parent — Parent device. That's the whole vibe 🫶
• cap — Description of the port. Like the port's little intro card 💅

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so what this does: it registers a device for a USB Type-C Port described in cap. Slay 💖

Then it returns a handle to the port on success, or ERR_PTR on failure. No cap, that's literally the deal — success gives you the handle, failure gives you ERR_PTR 😭
