✨ NAME ✨

mipi_dsi_packet_format_is_long — check if a packet is of the long format 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool mipi_dsi_packet_format_is_long (u8 type );

that's literally it. one argument, one bool, zero drama 💅

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • type — the MIPI DSI data type of the packet 🎀 like, the little label that tells you what kind of packet you're looking at. you hand it over, it does its thing, no cap.
