bios_parser...entry_number(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, this page is literally about bios_parser_get_ss_entry_number — and yeah, the original NAME line ends with a little dash and nothing after it, we're keeping it exactly like that because that's what the manpage says. no notes. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

uint32_t bios_parser_get_ss_entry_number (struct dc_bios *dcb , enum
as_signal_type signal );

that's the whole vibe check right there — she takes a struct dc_bios * and an enum as_signal_type, and she hands you back a uint32_t. iconic. 🦋

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• dcb — pointer to the DC BIOS. bestie, it's just a pointer, okay? point her at your BIOS and let her cook. 💖
• signal — the ASSignalType that's gonna get converted into an SSid. literally the whole plot of this function. 🙈

---

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so what she actually does: she grabs the Number of SpreadSpectrum Entry from the ASIC_InternalSS_Info table — which lives in the VBIOS — and she only picks the ones that match the SSid, and that SSid gets converted from signal. no cap, that's it, that's the whole function. ✨

ngl it's giving "small function, big responsibility" — she's the one who knows how many SS entries match your signal, so respect her. 👑

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

the number of SS Entry that match the signal. that's your number. go off, bestie. 💅
