π ixgbe_write_analog_reg8_82599(9) π
okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β¨ this one's a lil function from the kernel's section 9 pages and she is very specific, so let's get into it π«Ά
πΈ NAME πΈ
ixgbe_write_analog_reg8_82599 β writes an 8 bit Omer analog register π« that's her whole job, that's the whole vibe.
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
int ixgbe_write_analog_reg8_82599 (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u32 reg , u8 val );
like, look at her go π three args, returns an int, no cap π
π ARGUMENTS π
hwβ pointer to the hardware structure π₯οΈ yes girl, the whole hardware struct, hand it overregβ the atlas register you wanna write to βοΈ (that's what the page says β atlas register, we do not question the naming, we respect it π)valβ the value to write π literally just the value, that's it, that's the arg
β DESCRIPTION β
she performs a write operation to the Omer analog register you specified π§ and that's genuinely the entire description, no hidden lore, no secret behaviour β a write goes to the register you named, periodt π
ngl there is literally nothing else on this page about behaviour, so i'm not gonna invent any π if you need more deets, go read the source file listed below, bestie π«Ά
