pldm_for_each_component(9)

✨ pldm_for_each_component(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one's a lil macro from the pldmfw corner of the kernel, and honestly? she's short but she's iconic 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

pldm_for_each_component — literally the name up there bestie, the original page doesn't say more than that 🙈

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pldm_for_each_component (i , component , start , count );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• i — a variable where you're gonna store the component index, like the little counter keeping track of where you're at 🔢
• component — a variable where you're gonna store the component pointer, so it's holding the actual thing you're looking at 👑
• start — the byte offset to the start of the first component ✨ offset from where? it's the byte offset to the start of the first component, that's the lore, don't come for me
• count — the number of components 🍓

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

okay so picture this: it's a for loop macro 🔁 and what it does is iterate over all of the components of a PLDM file. that's it. that's the whole vibe. she's a loop macro, she loops, she goes over every component, periodt 💅

ngl if you've met her siblings (pldm_for_each_record, pldm_for_each_desc_tlv) you already know the family energy — same shape, different thing being iterated 🫶
