pmcraid_send_cmd(9)

💖 pmcraid_send_cmd(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the pmcraid_send_cmd(9) era of the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a little function with main character energy: it literally fires a command at the IOA. no cap. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void pmcraid_send_cmd (struct pmcraid_cmd *cmd , void (*cmd_done)
(struct pmcraid_cmd *) , unsigned long timeout , void (*timeout_func)
(struct timer_list *) );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cmd — pointer to the command block that's about to get yeeted to the IOA 🚀 this is the whole vibe of the call
• cmd_done — the command completion function, and the way it works is: it gets called once the IOA responds 👑 that's the callback, periodt
• timeout — the timeout to wait for this command completion ⏳ like, how long we're willing to sit here with our iced coffee waiting
• timeout_func — the timeout handler 💅 lowkey the backup plan if the waiting goes on too long

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this function also sets up the timeout function and the command completion function — both of them, together, in one go 🫶 ngl that's the entire personality of this function.

Return value: none 😌 (yes, it's void, she gives nothing back and she's iconic for it)
