okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie β yes the real one, and yes we're reading it for fun. today's main character is a tiny little function with a huge name that got truncated in the header because the terminal said "no ma'am, that's too many characters." it's giving "my name is long but my job is one line." let's get into it π
πΈ NAME πΈ
ice_ptp_reset_ts_memory_e82x β Clear all timestamps from all quad blocks
that's it. that's the whole job. timestamps? cleared. quad blocks? all of them. iconic behavior honestly β¨
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void ice_ptp_reset_ts_memory_e82x (struct ice_hw *hw );
see how the void is just sitting there at the front with zero thoughts behind its eyes? no return value, no drama, just vibes and one argument π«Ά
π ARGUMENTS π
hwβ pointer to the HW struct. that's the hardware struct, the little data homegirl that knows things. she's a pointer, so be nice to her, and don't hand over garbage ngl π
π¦ SEE ALSO π¦
okay this is the part where the manpage goes absolutely feral and lists literally everyone this function has ever been in a group chat with. buckle up, there are a LOT of them, and I'm not skipping a single one. π
π the file itself
