DEVICE_GET_FLAGS(9)

👑 hey bestie, this is DEVICE_GET_FLAGS(9) 💅

okay so, welcome to the kernel dev manual, section 9, and today's main character is device_get_flags 💖 it's a tiny page, a lil snack, but it's important, so let's get into it fr fr 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

device_set_flags, device_get_flags — manipulate driver flags ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

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

void
device_set_flags(device_t dev, uint32_t flags);

uint32_t
device_get_flags(device_t dev);

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so every single device out here is carrying its own little set of driver-dependent flags 🫶 these flags are, like, extremely often used to control how a device behaves — its whole vibe, basically.

• wanna read those flags? you call device_get_flags() 👀
• wanna write them? you call device_set_flags() ✍️

that's it. that's the whole thing. lowkey iconic that something this small runs so much 💅

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• device(9) — go read that one too bestie, it's the whole context ✨
