nand_prog_page_begin_op(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this page is nand_prog_page_begin_op(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it literally starts a PROG PAGE operation ✨. It’s the opening act, not the whole show — more on that below 💅.

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

       int nand_prog_page_begin_op (struct nand_chip *chip , unsigned int page
       , unsigned int offset_in_page , const void *buf , unsigned int len );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• chip — the NAND chip, the main character here 👑
• page — page to write
• offset_in_page — offset within the page (yes, exactly what it says) 🦋
• buf — buffer containing the data to write to the page
• len — length of the buffer

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

listen, this function issues the first half of a PROG PAGE operation. First half only, okay? It does not select/unselect the CS line — that part is not this function’s job, no cap 💀.

It returns 0 on success, and a negative error code otherwise. That’s the whole return situation, bestie 🫶.
