ipc_flash_b...capabilities(9)

💅 ipc_flash_boot_set_capabilities(9) — like, the whole glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to another ✨ Kernel API Manual ✨ moment. this one's from the ipc_flash_b...capabilities(9) page (yes that's the truncated header, she's mysterious like that) and tbh it's a short one — but we're gonna give it main character energy anyway. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ipc_flash_boot_set_capabilities — sets the modem boot capabilities in flash. that's it. that's the whole job. she does one thing and she ate. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ipc_flash_boot_set_capabilities (struct iosm_devlink *ipc_devlink ,
u8 *mdm_rsp );

like, literally just call her with those two args and she returns an int. no cap. 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ipc_devlink — ok so this one is a pointer to the devlink structure. that's her whole personality. pointer. devlink. structure. iconic.
• mdm_rsp — pointer to the modem response buffer. she's a u8 *, so she's holding bytes and she's holding them for the modem response. periodt. 💖

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 on success ✨
• a failure value on error 😭 (it's not specified which one, so don't come for me, that's just what the page says)

ngl bestie, always check that return value. 0 means slay, anything else means we're having a moment. 💀
