πŸ’… atl2_check_options(9) β€” like, the whole kernel API manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to atl2_check_options(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual πŸŽ€ β€” this is the page where we make sure nobody typed something cursed into the command line parameters. buckle up, it's short but it's iconic πŸ’–


🌸 NAME 🌸

atl2_check_options β€” Range Checking for Command Line Parameters ✨

πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

void atl2_check_options (struct atl2_adapter *adapter );

like, that's the whole signature. no cap. πŸ’…

πŸ“ ARGUMENTS πŸ“

  • adapter β€” the board private structure 🫢 that's it, that's the arg. it's giving "one job and she's doing it."

πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

okay so here's the tea β˜• β€” this routine checks all command line parameters for valid user input. every single one. she's thorough like that πŸ’…

  • if an invalid value is given β†’ a default value is used instead πŸ™ˆ
  • if no user specified value exists β†’ yeah, also a default value πŸŽ€

and then, the final value gets stored in a variable in the adapter structure. periodt. that's the whole plot ✨

ngl it's literally a vibe check for your kernel parameters. invalid input does not get to sit with us πŸ’€
