XSCOM(8)

📦 version 7.0, in debian bookworm, debian trixie, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble, ubuntu questing, ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

okay so bestie, you just opened XSCOM(8) — that's a page from the System Manager's Manual — and I'm here to translate it into human. No cap, let's go 💖

✨ NAME ✨

getsram — it's literally just part of xscom utils. That's the whole name section, we keep it short and sweet around here 🫶

🦋 SYNOPIS 🦋

(yes bestie the original really spells it SYNOPIS and not SYNOPSIS — I'm not fixing it, I'm just the messenger 💀)

getsram [-c | --chip chip-id] addr
getsram [-n | --occ-channel chan]
getsram [-v | --version]

So that's three whole ways to run this thing. Pick your fighter 💅

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

getsram is an interface. Its entire purpose, its whole main character moment, is to let you query the OCC RAM of an OpenPower system. That's it. That's the job. And honestly? She ate. 👑

🎀 Options 🎀

  • -c|--chip-id chip-id — says which chipset to use, i.e. the chipset where you're reading the register at addr. 🧚 (heads up: the synopsis up top writes it as --chip and this list writes it as --chip-id. I am reporting exactly what's on the page. Do not come for me. 🙈)
  • -n|--occ-channel — says which channel to use. And the channel is 0, 1, 2 or 3. Four options, one of them, that's the vibe check 🍓
  • -v|--version — displays the version of the tool. Know your version, love your version, it's self-care fr fr 💅
Lowkey the shortest manpage ever and I respect that. Go read your OCC RAM, bestie. 🌸

Sign-off time: this whole page is dated January 2018 and it's filed under XSCOM(8). Stay iconic, bye 👑✨💜
