iosys_map_memcpy_to(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… iosys_map_memcpy_to(9) πŸ’…

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β€” yes, that's the manual name, we're in kernel-land now 🐧✨ This one's a little C helper, and honestly it's giving "small but mighty." Let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

iosys_map_memcpy_to β€” memcpy into an offset of an iosys_map, no cap πŸ’–


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void iosys_map_memcpy_to (struct iosys_map *dst , size_t dst_offset ,
       const void *src , size_t len );

Literally the whole signature, character for character, because we do not mess with code around here πŸ”₯


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • dst β€” the iosys_map structure itself, the main character of this whole operation πŸ‘‘
  • dst_offset β€” the offset from which to copy, i.e. where in dst the writing action starts πŸ“
  • src β€” the source buffer, aka where the data is coming from πŸ“
  • len β€” the number of bytes in src, like, how much of the vibe we're transferring πŸ’«

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So what does it actually do? It copies data into an iosys_map, and it does it with an offset. The source buffer lives in system memory, bestie 🧠✨

And here's the cute part: depending on where the buffer's location is, the helper picks the correct method of accessing the memory. Like it just knows πŸ’… The helper ate and left no crumbs.

Ngl, the whole point is that you don't have to think about how the memory is accessed β€” the helper handles the vibe check for you 🌈
