✨ get_ss_entry..._ss_info_tbl(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, that's the manual name, we're being fancy today πŸ’…) and it's all about one very specific little function. she's niche, she's lowkey iconic, and she has a very long name. let's get into it 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

get_ss_entry_number_from_ss_info_tbl β€” that's it, that's the whole name, and no cap it's a mouthful 😭


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

uint32_t get_ss_entry_number_from_ss_info_tbl (struct bios_parser *bp ,
       uint32_t id );

like, look at her go. uint32_t in, uint32_t out, two args, slay ✨


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • bp β€” pointer to the BIOS parser. literally just a pointer to the BIOS parser, bestie, nothing spooky πŸ’–
  • id β€” the spread spectrum id. that's the little identifier you're hunting for πŸ”

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so what does she actually do? Get Number of spread spectrum entry from the SS_Info table from the VBIOS. that's the whole vibe β€” you hand her an id, she goes digging in the VBIOS SS_Info table, and she comes back with the number of the entry. main character energy fr fr πŸ‘‘


πŸ”₯ RETURN πŸ”₯

number of SS Entry that match the id. that's what you get back, periodt πŸ’…


πŸ’€ NOTE πŸ’€

There can only be one entry for each id for SS_Info Table. so like... don't go expecting a crowd, bestie, it's a one-entry-per-id situation. no duplicates, no drama πŸ™ˆ

ngl this is the kind of note you read once and then forget, and then it bites you. respect the uniqueness constraint, i'm begging πŸ₯Ί
