mpi3mr_issue_ioc_shutdown(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 mpi3mr_issue_ioc_shutdown(9) 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today (yes, the Kernel API Manual, section 9, that's the whole vibe) and we're talking about one very specific little function. strap in 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mpi3mr_issue_ioc_shutdown — literally just shuts down the controller. that's it. that's the whole thing. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void mpi3mr_issue_ioc_shutdown (struct mpi3mr_ioc *mrioc );

no return value, no drama, just vibes and a pointer 🦋

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • mrioc — the adapter instance reference 🫶 that's your lil handle to the controller you're about to send off to sleep.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what it does is: it sends a shutdown notification to the controller, and then it waits — for shutdown_timeout — for that shutdown to actually complete. like it's not gonna just fire and forget, it's gonna stand there tapping its foot until the controller's done or the timeout runs out 😭

(btw the original spells it "shutodwn" and honestly? iconic typo. iykyk. but yes: send notification → wait for shutdown_timeout → done.)

✨ RETURN ✨

Nothing. void. nada. zero. it gives you no tea back, bestie 💀

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

okay this is the part where i need you to stay with me, because this list is long long. no skips, no summaries, we're doing all of them 💅
