💅 cvs_write_i2c(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to this little page from the Kernel API Manual — it's giving "one function, very specific job" energy, and honestly? iconic. Let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

cvs_write_i2c — write a raw command buffer to the device over I2C. no cap, that's the whole thing.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int cvs_write_i2c (struct icvs *ctx , const void *data , int size );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• ctx — the CVS device context. like, the main character of this call tbh.
• data — buffer containing command + payload. yes bestie, both in there.
• size — total bytes to write. the whole count, not a vibe estimate.

💖 RETURN 💖

It returns 0 on success or a negative errno. periodt — success is 0, failure is negative.
