✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this page is all about fdt_setprop_inplace_cell(9), and it's literally:

no cap, that's the whole name vibe. 🎀

🛠️ SYNOPSIS 🛠️

here's the signature, copy it exactly and don't freestyle the spaces, iykyk:

int fdt_setprop_inplace_cell (void *fdt , int nodeoffset , const char
       *name , uint32_t val );

it returns an int, bestie. 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • fdt — pointer to the device tree blob. it's the main character.
  • nodeoffset — offset of the node containing the property. yes, you need the node first.
  • name — name of the property to change the value of. be normal and spell it right.
  • val — new value of the 32-bit cell. it's a uint32_t, so 32-bit cell energy.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This is an alternative name for fdt_setprop_inplace_u32. periodt. 💅

🔁 RETURN 🔁

  • 0 on success.
