ACPIPRT(4)
💅 ACPIPRT(4) 💅
okay so this is from the Kernel Interfaces Manual, section 4 — it's acpiprt, and bestie, it's giving "quietly holding the whole system together" energy ✨
🌸 NAME 🌸
acpiprt — ACPI PCI routing table configuration. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀
🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋
acpiprt* at acpi?like, one line, zero drama, iconic behavior 👑
✨ DESCRIPTION ✨
okay so listen 👂 — the acpiprt driver is the one handing out interrupt mapping information for your PCI devices, and it gets all of that from the ACPI PCI Routing Table objects. no cap, that's literally its entire job 🫶
typically there's one PCI Routing Table object for every PCI bus in the system, and each one of those gets handled by its own separate acpiprt device. so like, one bus → one object → one driver instance. it's a whole matching set, very coordinated, we love to see it 💖
ngl this is the kind of background work that nobody thanks but everybody needs 😭 the main character energy is real.
