wakeup_source_create(9)

💖 wakeup_source_create 💖

okay so real talk, bestie — we're deep in the Kernel API Manual today, like deep deep, in the wakeup_source cinematic universe, and this right here is the origin story. no cap. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

wakeup_source_create — literally just, like, create a struct wakeup_source object. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "birth of a main character." 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct wakeup_source * wakeup_source_create (const char *name );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• name — the name of the new wakeup source. that's it. that's the whole argument. you hand it a name and it hands you a whole struct. iconic behavior honestly 🫶

ngl bestie, this page is short but it's the doorway to the whole power-management saga. read the SEE ALSO. i'm not asking. 🧚

and that's the tea! 🍓 this lil gem lives under ./drivers/base/power, from the October 2026 drop of the Kernel API Manual — mwah, go forth and create your structs, you absolute icon 💜✨
