w1_therm_add_slave(9)

💖 w1_therm_add_slave(9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie 💖

Okay so this is w1_therm_add_slave(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's lowkey iconic for a tiny little callback. Let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

w1_therm_add_slave — called when a new slave is discovered. Slay. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int w1_therm_add_slave (struct w1_slave *sl );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• sl — the slave that was just discovered by the master. That's the whole vibe check right there 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Bestie, picture this: the master discovers a new slave on the bus, and this function gets called. Its whole job is to initialize the slave's state before any communication even starts. No cap, that's it — but it's important 💖

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Returns 0 if it's a success, and a negative kernel code otherwise. So 0 is the good ending, negative is the "oop" ending 💀
