parse_package(9)

🦋 parse_package(9) 🦋

okay so bestie, this one is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about parsing an acpi package to pull out SAR information. very demure, very kernel-core. 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

parse_package — parse acpi package for retrieving SAR information

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

acpi_status parse_package (struct wwan_sar_context *context , union acpi_object *item );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• context — pointer to driver context structure. literally the driver's context home base 🫶
• item — acpi_object pointer. yep, that's the object bestie is working with ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so, the given acpi_object gets iterated so it can retrieve information for each device mode. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🔥

if a given package corresponding to a specific device mode is faulty, it gets skipped — and the specific entry in the context structure will have the default value of zero. so yeah, faulty mode = skipped, that entry stays at 0. periodt. 💀

decoding of subsequent device modes is realized by having "continue" statements in the for loop when an error is encountered while parsing a given device mode. it's giving "bad parse? continue, we move." 🦋

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• AE_OK if success
• AE_ERROR on error
