parport_ip3..._write_block(9)

💅 parport_ip3..._write_block(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for parport_ip3..._write_block(9) — yes the header is truncated but that's the vibe ✨. The real one is parport_ip32_fifo_write_block, and we're about to get into it. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

parport_ip32_fifo_write_block — write a block of data 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       size_t parport_ip32_fifo_write_block (struct parport *p , const void
       *buf , size_t len );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• p — pointer to struct parport (the parallel port itself, lowkey the main character here) 🖥️
• buf — buffer of data to write (the stuff you're yeeting into the FIFO) 📦
• len — length of buffer buf (how much stuff, fr fr) 📏

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So like, this function uses PIO or DMA to write the contents of the buffer buf into the parallel p FIFO — yes, the parallel port FIFO, iconic. Then it returns the number of bytes that were actually written. No cap, that's the whole vibe. 💅✨
