okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ β€” yes that's the manual this little cutie lives in, and honestly? she's lowkey iconic for how much she does with so few words. this is jpeg_v5_0_2_dec_ring_get_rptr(9) and the whole personality is "i read the pointer so you don't have to" πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

jpeg_v5_0_2_dec_ring_get_rptr β€” get read pointer, periodt πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

uint64_t jpeg_v5_0_2_dec_ring_get_rptr (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );

that's it. that's the whole call. one argument, one uint64_t coming back at you 🫢


πŸ“ ARGUMENTS πŸ“

  • ring β€” an amdgpu_ring pointer, aka the ring you're asking about. hand her the ring, she gives you the read pointer. simple as. ✨

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

Returns the current hardware read pointer. literally what it says on the tin β€” no cap, no hidden lore, no surprise side quests. you give her the ring, she hands back the hardware's current read pointer as a uint64_t, and honestly? she ate that πŸ’€πŸ”₯

it's giving "small function, big main character energy" πŸ‘‘


🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the whole friend group fr fr β€” read pointer, write pointer getter, write pointer setter, they're a package deal πŸ’œ


ngl there are no gotchas here, no scary caveats, no "undefined behaviour" jumpscare πŸ™ˆ. just make sure ring is an actual valid amdgpu_ring pointer, because she will NOT be doing vibe checks on it for you 😭
