📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 cik_irq_set(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so welcome to the <pink>Kernel API Manual</pink>, babes — today we're looking at cik_irq_set(9) and honestly? it's a lil baddie with one job. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

cik_irq_set — enable/disable interrupt sources 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int cik_irq_set (struct radeon_device *rdev );

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. one argument, returns an int, iconic behavior fr fr.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • rdev — a radeon_device pointer 🫶 that's your handle to the radeon device you're messing with, no cap.

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so like. this function enables interrupt sources on the GPU — think <purple>vblanks</purple>, <purple>hpd</purple>, etc. — and yes, it's the CIK flavor of that (as in, this one is for <hotpink>CIK</hotpink>) 💜

it returns 0 for success, and errors for failure 😭 so always check your return value bestie, don't just yolo it.

ngl there's not a ton of lore here — it does the thing, it tells you 0 if it went well, and it hands you an error if it didn't. periodt.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥
