π atl2_check_options(9) β like, the whole kernel API manual moment β¨
okay so bestie, welcome to atl2_check_options(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual π 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 π
πΈ NAME πΈ
atl2_check_options β Range Checking for Command Line Parameters β¨
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void atl2_check_options (struct atl2_adapter *adapter );
like, that's the whole signature. no cap. π
π ARGUMENTS π
adapterβ the board private structure π«Ά that's it, that's the arg. it's giving "one job and she's doing it."
π DESCRIPTION π
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 π
- if an invalid value is given β a default value is used instead π
- if no user specified value exists β yeah, also a default value π
and then, the final value gets stored in a variable in the adapter structure. periodt. that's the whole plot β¨
ngl it's literally a vibe check for your kernel parameters. invalid input does not get to sit with us π
