💖 DEVICE_GET_DRIVER(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel Developer's Manual — yes it's giving ancient scrolls but the lore is REAL and we're learning it together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

device_get_driver — the way u access the current driver of a device 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

driver_t *
device_get_driver(device_t dev);

look at her. iconic. no notes. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, this function hands u back the current driver that's associated with the device. that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

and if the device has no driver at all?? then u get NULL back. not a vibe, but it's honest 😭

ngl that NULL is lowkey a whole mood — no driver, no drama, just nothing returned to u 💀

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

• device(9)
• driver(9)

go read those too, i'm obsessed with a well-connected manpage fr fr 📚
