hwme_set_request_sync(9)

💅 hwme_set_request_sync(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

Okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, you've got a ca8210 driver staring at you, and you need a HWME_SET_request/confirm situation handled "according to API Spec" 🎀 — that's literally this function's whole job. It's giving "the spec said so, so I did it" energy.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

hwme_set_request_sync — does the HWME_SET_request/confirm thing according to API Spec. No cap, that's the whole name up front so you never get lost 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u8 hwme_set_request_sync (u8 hw_attribute , u8 hw_attribute_length , u8
*hw_attribute_value , void *device_ref );

Look at that signature, iconic. Four things go in, one u8 comes out 🦋

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw_attribute — the Attribute Number. Which attribute are we messing with? This one 🔥
• hw_attribute_length — the Attribute length. Gotta know how much of the thing there is 📏
• hw_attribute_value — Pointer to Attribute Value. It's a pointer, it's pointing at the value, we move 😌
• device_ref — a Nondescript pointer to the target device. Nondescript. The manpage said it, not me 💀 just a lil mystery pointer, love that for us

---

👑 RETURN 👑

You get back an 802.15.4 status code of HWME-SET.confirm — that's the vibe check result, so read it before you act like everything slayed 🌈
