_base_display_event_data(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 _base_display_event_data(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, in the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name, slay), and you find this little function. It's giving "firmware event translator" energy, and honestly? iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

_base_display_event_data — a verbose translation of firmware asyn events 🫶

like, it takes the firmware's cryptic little event blobs and spells them out for you. verbose means it does NOT shut up, and that's the point 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void _base_display_event_data (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc ,
Mpi2EventNotificationReply_t *mpi_reply );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ioc — the per adapter object, your main character struct for this adapter 👑
  • mpi_reply — the reply mf payload that comes back from firmware, i.e. the actual event data you're about to translate 💌
ngl the whole job here is: firmware hands you a payload, you dump it out in human-readable form. that's the vibe check and it passes ✨
