💖 jpeg_v5_3_0_dec_ring_get_wptr — NAME

okay so bestie, this is jpeg_v5_3_0_dec_ring_get_wptr, and literally all it does is get the write pointer. that's it. that's the whole vibe 🎀 (it lives in the Kernel API Manual, under the very truncated header jpeg_v5_3_0...ing_get_wptr(9) — yes the header got cut off, she's mysterious like that ✨)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

uint64_t jpeg_v5_3_0_dec_ring_get_wptr (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );

no cap, that's the whole call 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

She returns the current hardware write pointer. that's the tea ☕ the actual, live, hardware one — not a cached copy, not a vibe, the real thing 🔥

like… you ask, she gives you a uint64_t with the write pointer in it. iconic behaviour, zero notes 👑

fr fr, that's the entire description. don't go looking for extra lore, there isn't any 🙈
