ipc_imem_channel_init(9)

💅 ipc_imem_channel_init — kernel API manual, but make it make sense 🎀

okay so bestie, this one's from the kernel API manual (yes, the ipc_imem_channel_init(9) girlies rise) and it's literally the function that sets up your channel list with UL/DL pipe pairs ✨ no cap, that's the whole vibe.

---

✨ NAME ✨

ipc_imem_channel_init — Initialize the channel list with UL/DL pipe pairs 💫

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ipc_imem_channel_init (struct iosm_imem *ipc_imem , enum ipc_ctype
ctype , struct ipc_chnl_cfg chnl_cfg , u32 irq_moderation );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ipc_imem — Pointer to imem data-struct 🫶 like, this is the main character of the whole data situation.
• ctype — Channel type, okay? the kind of channel we're doing here.
• chnl_cfg — Channel configuration struct, aka all the settings bundled up cute 🎀
• irq_moderation — Timer in usec for irq_moderation ⏱️ (that's microseconds, bestie, micro. not milli. we don't do milli here.)
