π NAME π
okay bestie, so jpeg_v1_0_decode_ring_get_wptr β say that five times fast, i dare you β is literally the function that gets the write pointer. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's in the Kernel API Manual btw, so you know it's official π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
uint64_t jpeg_v1_0_decode_ring_get_wptr (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );
that's the whole signature, no cap. it takes exactly one thing and gives you back a uint64_t. simple. clean. iconic. π
π ARGUMENTS π
ringβ anamdgpu_ringpointer. that's the one (1) thing you gotta hand over. yes, it has to be a pointer. no, you can't skip it. π«Ά
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so what does it actually do? it returns the current hardware write pointer. that's the entire description, bestie β the hardware has a write pointer, and this function goes and gets it for you. it's giving personal assistant energy, honestly. πΈ
like, it's not complicated and it doesn't need to be. get the pointer. return the pointer. slay. β
