ata_acpi_gtm(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ata_acpi_gtm(9) — like, the kernel API manual, bestie ✨

okay so this is ata_acpi_gtm(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's honestly such a tiny little icon — one function, one job, zero drama. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ata_acpi_gtm — she executes _GTM. that's it. that's the whole name. main character energy in four words 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ata_acpi_gtm (struct ata_port *ap , struct ata_acpi_gtm *gtm );

literally just copy that exactly, no cap, don't be out here retyping it from memory 🙈

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ap — the target ATA port, aka the thing we're pointing at 👉
  • gtm — the out parameter where the _GTM result lands. it's giving "you get a result, bestie" 🎁

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the whole vibe here is: evaluate _GTM and store the result in gtm. that's the assignment. she did it. slay 💅

🔒 LOCKING: EH context. that's the locking story, periodt — don't come for me, that's literally all the page says.

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 — success, we ate 🔥
  • -ENOENT — _GTM doesn't exist, so like… no _GTM, no result, sorry babe 😭
  • -errno — any other failure, she returns -errno and we respect it 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file is ./drivers/ata/libata-acpi.c and it's literally the mother of all of these, so go look at it 🫶

like, that's a whole friend group of ACPI functions and they all live in ./drivers/ata 🧚

okay bye bestie, this page came from ./drivers/ata, dated October 2026, and it's filed under ata_acpi_gtm(9) — love that for us, mwah 💜🍓
