adxl_decode(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

adxl_decode — okay bestie, this one literally asks BIOS to decode a system address to memory address. 💅 It’s adxl_decode(9) from the Kernel API Manual.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int adxl_decode (u64 addr , u64 component_values[] );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• addr — the address to decode. 🎯
• component_values — pointer to array of values for each component. Returns 0 on success, negative error code otherwise. 😭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The index of each value returned in the array matches the index of each component name returned by adxl_get_component_names — it’s giving matching-index energy, iykyk. ✨

Components that are not defined for this address translation (e.g. mirror channel number for a non-mirrored address) are set to ~0ull. No cap. 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• Kernel file ./drivers/acpi/acpi_adxl.c
