ice_pkg_buf...ive_sections(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to ice_pkg_buf...ive_sections(9) from the Kernel API Manual. The actual function we're fangirling over is ice_pkg_buf_get_active_sections, and yes, we're keeping every detail. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_pkg_buf_get_active_sections - (the original page leaves the description after the dash blank, so no invented summary here, periodt.)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u16 ice_pkg_buf_get_active_sections (struct ice_buf_build *bld );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• bld — pointer to pkg build (allocated by ice_pkg_buf_alloc), bestie.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This function returns the number of active sections. Before using the package buffer in an update package command, the caller should make sure there is at least one active section. Otherwise the buffer is not legal and should not be used — so do that vibe check first, okay? 💅

💅 NOTE 💅

All package contents must be in Little Endian form. That's the rule, bestie. ✨
