vkms_config_get_device_name(9)

💅 vkms_config_get_device_name(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, you've got a struct vkms_config * in your hand, and you just need the name of the thing. That's it. That's the whole function. Lowkey iconic for how chill it is ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

vkms_config_get_device_name — returns the name of the device, no cap 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

const char * vkms_config_get_device_name (struct vkms_config *config );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• config — the configuration you want the device name out of. That's the one. Hand it over 💖

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

The device name, bestie! 🎉 It's a const char *, so like… look, don't go freeing it or anything.

⚠️ vibe check / important: the returned name is only valid while config is valid. The moment your config goes poof, that pointer is giving expired-screenshot energy 💀 fr fr do not hold onto it past that.
