REG_FIELD_GET8(9)

💅 REG_FIELD_GET8(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for REG_FIELD_GET8, and it's giving tiny-but-mighty u8 bitfield extraction energy ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

REG_FIELD_GET8 — Extract a u8 bitfield value 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

REG_FIELD_GET8 (__mask , __val );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• __mask — the shifted mask that defines the field's length and position. It's literally the map, bestie 🗺️
• __val — the value to extract the bitfield value from. The main character you're pulling from 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this is a local wrapper for FIELD_GET whose whole job is to force u8 and keep things consistent with REG_FIELD_PREP, REG_BIT and REG_GENMASK. No cap, it's the friend that matches the group chat aesthetic 🫶

💖 RETURN 💖

It returns the masked and shifted value of the field defined by __mask in __val. That's the whole vibe — masked and shifted, handed over with care 💅
