okay so you're looking at the fm10k_tlv_attr_get_value(9) page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a little cutie. let's get into it π
β¨ NAME β¨
fm10k_tlv_attr_get_value β get the integer value that's stored in an attribute π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
s32 fm10k_tlv_attr_get_value (u32 *attr , void *value , u32 len );
that's it. that's the whole vibe. three little params and she's done π¦
π§ ARGUMENTS π§
attrβ pointer to the attribute. like, the source of truth, the main character πvalueβ pointer to your destination buffer. this is where the good stuff lands π«Άlenβ the size ofvalue. gotta match up or she's not playing nice π
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
so what does she actually do? this function places an integer value of up to 8 bytes in size at the offset that value points to. yes, 8 bytes, no cap. that's the whole ceiling, don't come at her with more π
and she'll return success β but only if the vibes are correct, meaning:
- the pointers are valid β
- and the
lenvalue matches the attribute length β
lowkey important: if either of those doesn't line up, she's not giving you success. it's giving "vibe check failed" π not a bug, just boundaries.
