amdgpu_devic...a_set_decode(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🎀 amdgpu_device_vga_set_decode — straight outta the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, gather round, because today we're looking at a tiny little function with a very long name and honestly? she's lowkey iconic. let's get into it 💅

💖 NAME

amdgpu_device_vga_set_decode — literally just enable/disable vga decode, that's the whole vibe 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS

unsigned int amdgpu_device_vga_set_decode (struct pci_dev *pdev , bool
state );

like yes, that's the signature, no cap. copy it exactly, don't be weird about the spacing 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS

  • pdev — the PCI device pointer, aka the little handle to the card you're messing with 👑
  • state — enable/disable vga decode. that's it. that's the toggle 🎀

💜 DESCRIPTION

Enable/disable vga decode (all asics). Returns VGA resource flags.

so real talk: all asics means this works across every ASIC, no generational gatekeeping, we love an inclusive queen 🌈 and the return value? VGA resource flags. she gives you the flags back, she doesn't just do the thing and dip 🙈

first up, the source file herself:

and that's the whole page, bestie, you ate that 🍓
