amdtp_domain_start(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual page for amdtp_domain_start(9) — and it does exactly what it says on the tin: start sending packets for isoc context in the domain. literally the "go go go" button for your AMDTP domain, and we're obsessed. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int amdtp_domain_start (struct amdtp_domain *d , unsigned int
       tx_init_skip_cycles , bool replay_seq , bool replay_on_the_fly );

bestie, it returns an int, and it takes the domain plus three little control knobs. no cap. 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• d — the AMDTP domain. yup, the domain itself. main character energy. 💅
• tx_init_skip_cycles — the number of cycles to skip processing packets at initial stage of IR contexts. like a little startup skip, but for cycles. 🫶
• replay_seq — whether to replay the sequence of packet in IR context for the sequence of packet in IT context. that's the whole bool vibe check. 🔁
• replay_on_the_fly — transfer rx packets according to nominal frequency, then begin to replay according to arrival of events in tx packets. so: nominal-frequency rx first, then replay once tx packet events show up. 🌈
