vme_register_driver(9)

✨ vme_register_driver(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one's a shortie but a goodie — it's the entry-level slay for getting your VME driver into the subsystem.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

vme_register_driver — literally registers a VME driver, that's the whole vibe 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int vme_register_driver (struct vme_driver *drv , unsigned int ndevs );

---

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

• drv — pointer to the VME driver structure you wanna register. it's giving "here's my driver, pls take it" 🫶
• ndevs — the maximum number of devices you're allowing to be enumerated. think of it as your device capacity limit, no cap 💅

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so basically you call this and it registers a VME device driver with the VME subsystem. that's it. that's the function. iconic behaviour honestly ⭐

---

💜 RETURN 💜

• 0 on success — we love a zero, that's the good ending 🎉
• an error value on registration failure — not the vibe, but at least it tells you 😭
