💖 e1000_read_flash_word_ich8lan(9) 💖

okay bestie, so this page comes to you straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about reading one (1) single word out of flash. tiny function, huge main-character energy ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

e1000_read_flash_word_ich8lan — read a word from flash, that's it, that's the whole job 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

s32 e1000_read_flash_word_ich8lan (struct e1000_hw *hw , u32 offset ,
u16 *data );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure. like, the whole vibe of the hardware, handed to you 💜
  • offset — offset to the data location. your little address bookmark of where the good stuff lives 🔖
  • data — pointer to the location for storing the data. you bring the empty spot, the function fills it in 🧚

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what it does: reads the flash word at offset into data. and here's the cute little detail — offset gets converted to bytes before the read happens, so don't come for her about units, she's already handled it 💅 periodt.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the friend group is massive, buckle up bestie 😭

like I said. enormous. iconic friend group, no notes 👑

ngl bestie, this one's a sweet little read-only helper — remember offset is in words when you hand it in and the function does the bytes conversion for you, so you don't gotta do the math yourself 💖

okay that's the whole page, love u, go read some flash 💅✨
