💖 knav_queue_open (9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so like, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's all about opening a hardware queue and honestly? it's giving main character energy. let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

knav_queue_open — open a hardware queue 🔥

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void * knav_queue_open (const char *name , unsigned id , unsigned flags
);

like yes, that's the whole signature, no cap 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• name — the name you're giving to the queue handle, bestie. that's its whole identity ✨
• id — the queue number you want, if any, or it specifies the type of queue 👑
• flags — the flags that apply to queues are literally these:
  • KNAV_QUEUE_SHARED — allow the queue to be shared 💖 queues are exclusive by default, so heads up. and any subsequent attempts to open a shared queue should also have this flag. iykyk, don't forget it 🙈

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

on success you get a handle to the open hardware queue 🎉 use IS_ERR to check the returned value for error codes — like pls actually check it, don't just vibe and hope 😭

bestie reminder: queues are exclusive unless you pass KNAV_QUEUE_SHARED, and every later open of that shared queue needs the flag too. no skipping, fr fr 💀
