πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– mcp_reg_read(9) β€” read a device register πŸ’–

okay so bestie, this is a kernel API manual page, and honestly? it's a little one. but we're gonna give it the full main character treatment anyway because that's just who we are πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

mcp_reg_read β€” literally just reads a device register. that's the whole vibe. πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

unsigned int mcp_reg_read (struct mcp *mcp , unsigned int reg );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • mcp β€” the MCP interface structure. yeah, the whole struct, hand it over 🫢
  • reg β€” a 4-bit register index. four bits, bestie. tiny. precious. do not overflow it πŸ™ˆ

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

so what it does is: it reads a device register and returns the value it found there. that's it, that's the function, and it ate ✨

⚠️ ok but the important part, no cap: the MCP interface must be enabled to prevent this function from hanging. like, if you skip that step it's just gonna sit there. forever. πŸ’€ so enable it first, iykyk.
