fh_get_core_state(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 fh_get_core_state — get the state of a vcpu

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for fh_get_core_state(9) 💖 this one's short and sweet, and honestly it's giving "tiny function, big main character energy" ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS

unsigned int fh_get_core_state (unsigned int handle , unsigned int vcpu
, unsigned int *state );

like, yes, that signature really does wrap across two lines, she's just built that way 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS

  • handle — the handle of the partition that contains the vcpu 🫶
  • vcpu — the vcpu number, within that partition (iykyk, it's scoped to the partition)
  • state — this is a pointer, and on the way out it holds the current state of the vcpu — check FH_VCPU_* for the actual values 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION

Returns 0 for success, or an error code. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🌈

ngl bestie, the manpage does not elaborate further. so if you get a non-zero back, it's an error — periodt 💅 no cap, that's literally all it says.

🔥 SEE ALSO
