💅 cik_rlc_start — start the RLC ME ✨

okay so real talk, this is the manual page for cik_rlc_start(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's honestly such a short little icon. like, she does one thing and she does it well. main character energy fr. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

cik_rlc_start — start the RLC ME. that's it. that's the whole job. slay. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void cik_rlc_start (struct radeon_device *rdev );

like, she takes exactly one thing and returns absolutely nothing. no notes. 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• rdev — a radeon_device pointer, aka your little all-access pass to the radeon device. bestie's whole world. 💖

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Unhalt the RLC ME (MicroEngine) (CIK).

that's the entire description, no cap — she unhalts the RLC MicroEngine on CIK, and then she's done. it's giving "I have one job and I ate". 🔥 lowkey iconic how short this is ngl. 💀

ngl this page is basically a one-liner with a massive SEE ALSO flex attached, and honestly? respect. 😌

okay that's the whole vibe check bestie — this one's brought to you by the source over in ./drivers/gpu/drm/radeon, October 2026 edition, and yes she signed it cik_rlc_start(9) at the bottom like the icon she is. periodt. 💅🎀🦋⭐
