💖 dmi_memdev_handle(9) — straight outta the Kernel API Manual ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to the dmi_memdev_handle(9) page. We're in the Kernel API Manual, and this function is lowkey tiny but iconic. Let's get into it 🫶.

🎀 NAME 🎀

dmi_memdev_handle — get the DMI handle of a memory slot. That's the whole assignment: grab the DMI handle for a memory slot. Slay.

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

Here's the signature, copied exactly so nobody has to guess:

u16 dmi_memdev_handle (int slot );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• slot — slot number. Literally the slot number, no cap. It's the int slot from the synopsis, and that's the vibe 💅.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this function returns the DMI handle associated with a given memory slot. If there is no such slot, it returns 0xFFFF instead. That's the "no such slot" answer, periodt. The return type is u16, just like the synopsis says.
