es581_4_sizeof_rx_tx_msg(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… NAME πŸ’…

Okay bestie, welcome to es581_4_sizeof_rx_tx_msg(9) from the Kernel API Manual β€” the little page that tells you how to calculate the actual length of the structure of a rx or tx message. Slay. ✨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

es581_4_sizeof_rx_tx_msg (msg );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • msg β€” the message, and it is variable length. It absolutely must have a dlc field, no cap. 🫢

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here’s the vibe: even if RTR frames actually have no payload, the ES58X devices still expect it. Iconic of them, honestly. 😭

And this thing must be a macro so it can accept several types as an input β€” specifically struct es581_4_tx_can_msg and struct es581_4_rx_can_msg. It’s giving flexible, it’s giving macro realness. πŸ’…


⭐ RETURN ⭐

It returns the length of the message. That’s the whole assignment, bestie. πŸŽ€
