dpmcp_open(9)
π dpmcp_open(9) β from the Kernel API Manual
okay bestie, gather round, because today we're opening a control session and honestly? it's giving main character energy. this one lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's all about handing you a shiny token for one specific object. let's get into it π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
dpmcp_open β open a control session for the specified object. that's it, that's the whole vibe. π«
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
int dpmcp_open (struct fsl_mc_io *mc_io , u32 cmd_flags , int dpmcp_id ,
u16 *token );
literally just call it like that, no cap. πΈ
β¨ ARGUMENTS β¨
mc_ioβ pointer to the MC portal's I/O object. this is your portal bestie, the connection you're rolling through. πcmd_flagsβ command flags; one or more of'MC_CMD_FLAG_'. yes, one or more, pick from that family, you got this.dpmcp_idβ the DPMCP unique ID. your object's little ID card. πͺͺtokenβ the returned token; use it in subsequent API calls. it's the VIP wristband of this whole operation, do not lose it. π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
so here's the tea β β you know how some functions are out here creating things? this one is not that.
dpmcp_open can be used to open a control session for an object that's already been created. that object might have been declared in the DPL, or it might have been born when someone called the dpmcp_create function. either way, it exists, and now you want a session with it. iconic. π
what you get back is a unique authentication token. and this token is associated with two things, very specifically:
- the specific object ID
- the specific MC portal
and here's the part where you must pay attention, bestie π β that token has to be used in all subsequent commands for this specific object. not some of them. all of them. it's giving loyalty era, no fumbling. π
β¨ RETURN β¨
the original has a RETURN heading sitting there with absolutely nothing under it π β not me staring at a blank section. there is genuinely no return description given here, so we're not gonna invent one. we respect the mystery. π
