💅 hvc_put_chars 💅

okay bestie, this one is straight from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's giving “send characters to firmware for the denoted vterm adapter” energy. no cap. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

hvc_put_chars — send characters to firmware for the denoted vterm adapter. periodt. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ssize_t hvc_put_chars (uint32_t vtermno , const u8 *buf , size_t count );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• vtermno — the vtermno or unit_address of the adapter from which the data originated. iykyk, that's the origin girlie. 🫶
• buf — the character buffer that contains the character data to send to firmware. it must be at least 16 bytes, even if count is less than 16. not me stressing the 16-byte minimum, but seriously bestie, don't forget it. 😭
