💅 ps3_vuart_clear_rx_bytes — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to ps3_vuart_clear_rx_bytes(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual. yes this is a real kernel function page, yes it's short, and yes we're gonna make it cute anyway. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ps3_vuart_clear_rx_bytes — literally just discards bytes that came in. bye bestie, we don't want you 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ps3_vuart_clear_rx_bytes (struct ps3_system_bus_device *dev ,
unsigned int bytes );

it returns nothing (void), it takes two things, and it does exactly what it says. no notes. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • dev — the struct ps3_system_bus_device instance. like, the device we're talking about, obviously.
  • bytes — the max byte count to discard. and listen, zero means all pending. zero is not "none" here, zero is "everything", which is giving chaotic but slay. 😭

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does it do? it's used to clear the pending rx interrupt source. that's the whole assignment. ✨

and the icon behavior: it will not block. not even a little. it does its thing and it leaves. main character energy honestly. 👑

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

the whole friend group, no cap — starting with the kernel file ./drivers/ps3/ps3-vuart.c:

that's twenty entries and we listed every single one because we do not skip the boring parts in this house. periodt. 💖

and that's the page!! 🌈 sign-off time: this little legend lives in ./drivers/ps3, dated October 2026, and the manual is ps3_vuart_clear_rx_bytes(9) — mwah, go clear some rx bytes bestie 💋⭐
