asd_pause_lseq(9)

💅 asd_pause_lseq(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual edition 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up of asd_pause_lseq, a little function from the Kernel API Manual that literally just… pauses the link sequencer(s). that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

asd_pause_lseq — pause the link sequencer(s) 🦋

like yes queen, take a lil break, the link sequencers deserve a nap too 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int asd_pause_lseq (struct asd_ha_struct *asd_ha , u8 lseq_mask );

no cap, that's the whole signature. copy it exactly, we don't freestyle here 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• asd_ha — pointer to host adapter structure. it's giving "main character energy" — everything runs through this one 👑
• lseq_mask — mask of link sequencers of interest. literally a little guest list of which link sequencers we're talking about 🌈

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so the actual behaviour is short and sweet (unlike me):

• it returns 0 on success ⭐
• it returns a negative value on failure 😭

that's literally it. no extra lore, no secret side quests. periodt. 💀

💜 ngl, if you're calling asd_pause_lseq you probably already know the gang. but now you have the receipts.
