initio_xfer_data_in(9)
π« initio_xfer_data_in(9) π«
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β this one's a lil function called initio_xfer_data_in, and honestly? it's giving "start the download" energy π
πΈ NAME πΈ
initio_xfer_data_in β commence data input π₯β¨
π SYNOPSIS π
int initio_xfer_data_in (struct initio_host * host );
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
hostβ the InitIO host that's in use rn π«Ά like, the actual controller we're talking to
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
So here's the tea β: this kicks off a whole block of data transfer. Commence a block of data transfer, periodt.
And here's the part where you can just vibe π β the transfer itself gets managed by the controller, not by you. You don't have to micromanage it, bestie, it's got main character energy. All you do is wait for a completion interrupt (or a failure interrupt, π which, fingers crossed, won't happen) to come back and tell you how it went.
no cap: you hand it off, the controller handles it, you get pinged when it's done. that's the whole loop π
