πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

okay so bestie, we’re in the Kernel API Manual and the function on the mic is mei_txe_aliveness_set_sync(9). Its whole NAME vibe: sets an wait for aliveness to complete. Lowkey iconic, highkey specific. πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int mei_txe_aliveness_set_sync (struct mei_device *dev , u32 req );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • dev β€” the device structure. literally the device structure, no cap.
  • req β€” requested aliveness value. the aliveness value you’re requesting, periodt.

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success and < 0 otherwise. that’s the whole mood: zero means slay, less-than-zero means something went sideways. 😭
