marvell_pata_active(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this is marvell_pata_active(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and its whole job is to check if PATA is active ✨. That's the name, that's the vibe, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int marvell_pata_active (struct pci_dev *pdev );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• pdev — the PCI device 💅. That's it, that's the argument.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Returns 1 if the PATA port may be active. We know how to check this for the 6145 but not the other devices 🙈.

Like, it's giving “maybe active” energy, and the 6145 is the one we've lowkey got figured out — the other devices? not so much 😭. Periodt.

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀
