💅 papr_rtas_blob_generate(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 🎀

okay bestie, so you're in the <pink>Kernel API Manual</pink> and this page is all about papr_rtas_blob_generate(9) — literally the function that builds you a fresh &struct papr_rtas_blob. yes queen, it's giving constructor energy 👑

---

✨ NAME ✨

papr_rtas_blob_generate — Construct a new &struct papr_rtas_blob.

that's it, that's the whole vibe. it makes a blob. it's iconic. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const struct papr_rtas_blob * papr_rtas_blob_generate (struct
papr_rtas_sequence *seq );

look at her. one argument, returns a const struct papr_rtas_blob *. no cap, that's the whole signature 💖

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• seq — this is the work function of the caller, and like… it's the callback that gets called to obtain data with the caller RTAS call. it's the main character of this whole operation, fr fr.

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so here's the tea ☕ — the work callback is invoked until it returns NULL. yes, on repeat, until it's done. lowkey a vibe.

seq is passed to work in its first argument on every single call 📞 — like it's showing up to the group chat every time.

and when work returns data (slay), it should store the data length in its second argument. don't forget that part bestie, it's important 🙈

---

🌈 CONTEXT 🌈

May sleep. 😴

yep. she naps. it's allowed. go off.

---

👑 RETURN 👑

returns a completely populated struct papr_rtas_blob — like fully dressed, hair done, everything — or NULL on error 😭. no in-between, no half-finished looks. periodt.
