panthor_gpu_power_on(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… NAME πŸ’…

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for panthor_gpu_power_on(9) β€” this is the function that does exactly what it says: power on the GPU block. It’s giving β€œturn it on” energy, and honestly? iconic. πŸ’–


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature is literally:

panthor_gpu_power_on (ptdev , type , mask , timeout_us );

yes bestie, those spaces and commas are exactly as the page says. no cap. 🫢


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

there are four arguments here, and the source page is not giving us descriptions for any of them β€” every single one is marked -- undescribed --. the way that’s the whole tea 😭:

  • ptdev β€” the docs say -- undescribed --; that’s it, bestie.
  • type β€” also literally -- undescribed --. no extra lore. πŸ™ˆ
  • mask β€” the page says -- undescribed -- here too.
  • timeout_us β€” yep, -- undescribed --. the mystery continues. πŸ’€

πŸ”₯ RETURN πŸ”₯

0 on success, and a negative error code otherwise. that’s the whole return situation β€” clean, simple, slay. ✨
