e1000_check_64k_bound(9)

💖 e1000_check_64k_bound(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 💖

okay bestie, so this lil function lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel-space girlie) and honestly? her whole job is one (1) vibe check. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

e1000_check_64k_bound — check that memory doesn't cross 64kB boundary

like literally that's it, that's the whole assignment 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool e1000_check_64k_bound (struct e1000_adapter *adapter , void *start
, unsigned long len );

she returns a bool, she takes three things, and she's not gonna elaborate further 😌

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adapter — address of board private structure. it's giving "the board's whole private business", lowkey the main character of the struct world 👑
• start — address of beginning of memory. where the memory starts, fr fr, the origin story 💫
• len — length of memory. how much memory we're working with, no cap 📏
