✨ plpks_get_totalsize ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the plpks_get_totalsize(9) page — it's a kernel API manual situation, and honestly it's giving "small but mighty" 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

plpks_get_totalsize — literally just gets the total size of the PLPKS that is configured. that's it, that's the whole job 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

u32 plpks_get_totalsize (void );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• void — no arguments. nothing. zero. an empty plate. the function takes absolutely nothing and she's thriving 💖

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so here's the tea 🍵 — when initialization runs, a successful execution of the H_PKS_GET_CONFIG HCALL reads the total size of the PLPKS that's configured for the LPAR into the file local static totalsize variable.

like, that's the whole plot. one HCALL, one variable, one very chill function. no cap ✨

---

💜 RETURN 💜

• on success — the total size of the PLPKS that's configured gets returned 🎉
• 0 — returned if not. that's the "nope, nothing" answer 🙈
