πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ initio_xfer_data_out ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the initio_xfer_data_out(9) page πŸ’… it's from the Kernel API Manual and honestly it's a short one but it's iconic in its own little way. let's get into it 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

initio_xfer_data_out β€” commence data output πŸ’–

like, start the output. that's the whole vibe.


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

int initio_xfer_data_out (struct initio_host * host );

yep that's it. one argument, returns an int, we move ✨


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • host β€” the InitIO host in use, aka the main character of this whole operation πŸ‘‘

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

okay so here's what's happening: this kicks off a block of data transfer πŸ”₯ the transfer itself is not your problem, bestie β€” it will be managed by the controller, and we'll get a completion (or failure) interrupt 🫢 so you just light the fuse and the controller handles the rest, and you'll hear back either way. periodt πŸ’œ

ngl this is giving "start the job and go touch grass" energy and honestly? slay 🌈
