✨ vkms_config_create(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 — today we're looking at vkms_config_create, and honestly? it's giving "small function, big main character energy" 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

vkms_config_create — literally just Create a new VKMS configuration 💖 that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it slayfully ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct vkms_config * vkms_config_create (const char *dev_name );

no cap, that's the whole signature 👑 one argument, one pointer back, we love a low-effort icon 🙈

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • dev_name — the Name of the device 🏷️ that's the whole description bestie, she's a simple girl, she just wants to know what to call this thing ✨

🔥 RETURN 🔥

You get the new vkms_config back 🎉 — or, plot twist, an error 😭 (yes, it can just Not Work, vibe check failed 💀).

⚠️ important bestie, do not forget this part: call vkms_config_destroy to free the returned configuration 🫶 like, she's yours now, you gotta take her out on the responsible-memory-management date, fr fr 🌸
