💅 mei_data2slots(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to mei_data2slots — it's a lil kernel API manual page from the mei corner of the tree, and honestly? it's giving tiny-but-mighty. the whole job is: you hand it a message length, it tells you how many slots that length eats up. that's it. that's the function. iconic minimalism, no notes 💖

like, literally just that. length in, slots out. she's a converter, she's a vibe 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

u32 mei_data2slots (size_t length );

so you call her like that, and she hands you back a u32. cute. keep the signature exactly like this, no cap — copy it character for character if you're writing code 🎀
