BUS_GENERIC_ATTACH(9)

πŸ’– BUS_GENERIC_ATTACH πŸ’–

okay bestie, gather round, we're talking about BUS_GENERIC_ATTACH(9) from the Kernel Developer's Manual ✨ this one's a lil kernel function, not a command you type in your shell, so it's giving very much "deep lore" energy 🧚


🌸 NAME 🌸

bus_generic_attach β€” the generic implementation of DEVICE_ATTACH for buses 🚌✨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/bus.h>

int
bus_generic_attach(device_t dev);

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

So here's the vibe: this function hands you an implementation of the DEVICE_ATTACH(9) method that most bus code can just... use. No cap. 🫢

It literally just calls device_probe_and_attach(9) for each child device that's attached to the bus. That's it. That's the whole job. It's giving "I do one thing and I do it flawlessly" energy, and honestly? Iconic. πŸ‘‘


⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

  • Zero gets returned when everything's a slay βœ…
  • otherwise, an appropriate error comes back 😭
