πŸ’« initio_xfer_data_in(9) πŸ’«

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 πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

initio_xfer_data_in β€” commence data input πŸ“₯✨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

int initio_xfer_data_in (struct initio_host * host );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • host β€” the InitIO host that's in use rn 🫢 like, the actual controller we're talking to

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

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 😌 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, 😭 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 πŸ’–
