🎀 nand_read_oob — NAND read data and/or out-of-band 💅

okay so this page is from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 (the kernel-api one, iykyk). it's nand_read_oob(9) and it's honestly giving "tiny function, huge friend group" energy. let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

nand_read_oob — the [MTD Interface] gal that reads NAND data and/or out-of-band. both. or either. she's flexible like that 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int nand_read_oob (struct mtd_info *mtd , loff_t from , struct
mtd_oob_ops *ops );

she takes three things and gives you back an int. that's the whole vibe check. no cap 💖

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • mtd — the MTD device structure. like, which device are we even doing this on, bestie. main character energy for the chip itself 👑
  • from — the offset you're reading from. type is loff_t, so yes she can go big. don't be weird about it 💫
  • ops — the oob operation description structure. this is the little instruction card that tells her what to do. ngl, she reads it very carefully 🎀

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

NAND read data and/or out-of-band data. that's it. that's the sentence. she's doing the read, she's covering both the regular data and the out-of-band bits, and she is absolutely slaying while doing it 🌈

fr fr this is the [MTD Interface] layer, so think of her as the friendly front desk for NAND reads — but like, a front desk that actually helps you 😭

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

the kernel file lives at ./drivers/mtd/nand/raw/nand_base.c and the whole extended family shows up here, so buckle up bestie, we're listing everybody 👑

like, the entire nand_base.c friend group pulled up to the group chat. iconic behavior honestly 🧚

mwah 💋 that's the page!! brought to you by ./drivers/mtd/nand/raw and dated October 2026 — go read those other pages bestie, i believe in you 🍓💖
