💅 fh_partition_get_status(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and today's main character is fh_partition_get_status — literally the girl whose whole job is telling you how a partition is doing. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

fh_partition_get_status — gets the status of a partition 🎀

like, that's it. that's the gig.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

unsigned int fh_partition_get_status (unsigned int partition , unsigned
int *status );

so she takes two things and hands you back an unsigned int. iconic behavior honestly.

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • partition — partition ID 💫 (which partition are we checking on? that one.)
  • status — returned status code 🫶 (this is where the answer lands, bestie — it's a pointer, so she writes through it.)

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Returns 0 for success, or an error code. periodt. that's the whole vibe — zero means slay, anything else means something went sideways and you got an error code instead 😭

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Kernel file ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/fsl_hcalls.h — go read her, she's right there 💜

and then the whole friend group, fr fr:

ngl bestie, if you're poking at partitions on powerpc, this is the glow-up reference you keep in your tabs 🌈

and that's the whole page! 💖 brought to you from ./arch/powerpc/include/asm, dated October 2026, and yeah — fh_partition_get_status(9) said what she said. mwah 💅✨🍓
