πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the lpfc_idiag_baracc_read(9) page, folded all cute and cozy into the Kernel API Manual so we can get straight to it. The name is lpfc_idiag_baracc_read, and the one-line vibe is idiag debugfs pci bar access read. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ssize_t lpfc_idiag_baracc_read (struct file *file , char __user *buf ,
       size_t nbytes , loff_t *ppos );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • file β€” the file pointer to read from. πŸ“‚
  • buf β€” the buffer to copy the data to. πŸ’Œ
  • nbytes β€” the number of bytes to read. πŸ”’
  • ppos β€” the position in the file to start reading from. πŸ“

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

This routine reads data from the phba pci bar memory mapped space according to the idiag command, and copies to user buf. That's literally the whole story: it's giving "read the bar, follow the idiag command, send the data over to the user buffer." 🫢

🌸 RETURN 🌸

The return value is the amount of data that was read β€” and yes, bestie, that could be less than nbytes if the end of the file was reached 😭 β€” or a negative error value. Periodt.
