initio_se2_rd(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 initio_se2_rd — read E2PROM word 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual page for initio_se2_rd — yeah it's section 9, the big-brain kernel function zone 🧚✨ this one's a little cutie from the InitIO driver corner of the tree, and honestly? it's giving "small function, very important job" energy. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

initio_se2_rd — read E2PROM word 👑

like literally, it reads a word. from the E2PROM. iconic behavior, no notes 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u16 initio_se2_rd (unsigned long base , u8 addr );

so it takes a unsigned long base and a u8 addr, and it hands you back a u16 — a whole word of E2PROM goodness 💖 keep those types exactly as they are, bestie, they're not vibes, they're the API 😌

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • base — the base of the InitIO controller 💫 that's your little home address for the hardware, iykyk
  • addr — the address of the word in the E2PROM 📍 like, which word we're grabbing out of there

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

it reads a word from the NV E2PROM device. that's it. that's the whole description. she's straightforward, she's efficient, she knows what she wants 🌈

ngl the manpage is short and sweet here — no extra lore, no hidden caveats, just "read a word from the NV E2PROM device". we respect a minimal queen 💅

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay this list is LONG and we are obsessed — every single one of these is in Kernel file ./drivers/scsi/initio.c, and they're all fam, so let's give them their moment ✨:

like, whole friend group. the initio_state_1 through initio_state_7 run is lowkey main character energy 🔥 and yes, i91u_ names count too, they're part of the squad 💜

📁 source path is ./drivers/scsi — that's where this whole situation lives. go say hi 😌

and that's the page!! tysm for reading, bestie, go read some E2PROM words responsibly 🍓💖✨
