men_z135_start_tx(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 men_z135_start_tx(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, all about men_z135_start_tx — yes that's a whole mouthful, but stay with me, it's actually so chill. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

men_z135_start_tx — literally just start transmitting characters, that's the whole vibe 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void men_z135_start_tx (struct uart_port *port );

ngl, that signature is giving minimal icon energy ✨ void in, void out, no drama.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • port — the UART port 🫶 that's it, that's the argument. The one and only.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the function says "Start transmitting character" — like, that's its whole job description, main character energy fr.

but here's the plot twist 😭: it actually doesn't transmit anything. nope, zero characters go out the door. Instead it fires off the TX tasklet — like it's not doing the work itself, it's just hyping the tasklet up and sending it out to slay on its behalf 👑🔥

so lowkey it's a delegator. a little manager. it does not transmit, it makes transmissions happen. periodt. 💀
