🎀 ps3_set_ctr_size(9) — Kernel API Manual era 🎀

okay so bestie, this is the page for ps3_set_ctr_size(9) from the Kernel API Manual. It's a tiny kernel API moment and we're gonna get through it together, no cap. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

ps3_set_ctr_size — literally: “Set the size of a physical counter to 16 or 32 bits.” That's the whole name vibe. 🎯

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ps3_set_ctr_size (u32 cpu , u32 phys_ctr , u32 ctr_size );

The signature is giving a void return, and all three params are u32: cpu, phys_ctr, and ctr_size. It is exactly that, character for character, bestie. 💅

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

The original page is lowkey mysterious here: every single argument says -- undescribed --. Not me checking three times and getting the same answer 😭

• cpu — -- undescribed -- 🙈 no lore for this one.
• phys_ctr — -- undescribed -- 🫶 same mystery energy, no description.
• ctr_size — -- undescribed -- 💀 the page really said “figure it out, bestie.”

yes, we are keeping the -- undescribed -- exactly as-is. the facts do not get edited just because the vibe is cute. periodt. 💖
