💅 ixgbe_read_..._generic_int(9) — the Kernel API Manual edition

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and the function we're stanning today is ixgbe_read_i2c_combined_generic_int. yes it's a mouthful, no we're not shortening it, it's iconic that way. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_read_i2c_combined_generic_int — literally just performs an I2C read combined operation. that's it, that's the vibe. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ixgbe_read_i2c_combined_generic_int (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u8 addr ,
u16 reg , u16 *val , bool lock );

look at her go. five whole arguments. she's serving function signature realness 💅

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

so like, each of these matters, don't skip:

  • hw — pointer to the hardware structure. the main character struct, honestly 👑
  • addr — the I2C bus address you're reading from. where we're shopping today 🛍️
  • reg — the I2C device register you're reading from. the specific shelf in the store ✨
  • val — pointer to the location that receives the read value. she holds the tea once we get it ☕
  • lock — true if you want to take and release the semaphore. yes both. it takes it AND releases it. multitasking queen 🫶

that's the whole description bestie. no lore, no backstory, no nothing. if something goes wrong you get an error code, and that's the entire personality 😭
