πŸ’– ARGUMENTS πŸ’–

  • token β€” the I/O token, and per the manpage it should be an address in the form 0xA.... β€” so like, it's giving hex, it's giving 0xA prefix, that's the shape you're handing over 🫢

so the whole point: this routine should be called to convert a virtual I/O address to a physical one. that's the assignment. that's the function. no cap, no extra steps, no secret side quests listed here πŸ’œ

bestie note: the manpage says should be called and says the token should be in the 0xA.... form β€” that's the documented expectation, so don't be out here improvising arguments and then acting surprised, okay? 😭
