wait_for_device_probe(9)

💅 wait_for_device_probe(9) 💅

okay bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for wait_for_device_probe(9) — manual name folded in near the top like a little name tag, because we are not just copy-pasting the header line, we are giving it main character energy. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

wait_for_device_probe — and the description after the dash is literally empty in the original. A mysterious little dash. The NAME section is just the function name plus that dash, so that's exactly what we're serving. 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void wait_for_device_probe (void );

That's the whole signature, bestie — void return, void argument list. Periodt. 🎀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• void — no arguments. That's it. The argument list is empty and unbothered. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the actual lore: it waits for device probing to be completed. That's the vibe. No hidden flags, no extra steps in this description, just waiting until device probing is completed. 💅
