💅 ps3_vuart_raw_read(9) — a lil Kernel API Manual moment

okay bestie, so we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is, and I cannot stress this enough, a low level helper. Like, low level low level. It's giving "backstage pass, do not touch the equipment" energy. ✨

🌸 NAME

ps3_vuart_raw_read — Low level read helper.

🦋 SYNOPSIS

int ps3_vuart_raw_read (struct ps3_system_bus_device *dev , void *buf ,
unsigned int bytes , u64 *bytes_read );

🎀 ARGUMENTS

  • dev — the struct ps3_system_bus_device instance. that's the one, that's our guy 🫶
  • buf — literally marked -- undescribed -- in the source. no notes. the docs said nothing and honestly they meant it 💀
  • bytes — also -- undescribed --. iconic of them tbh
  • bytes_read — and this one? yeah. -- undescribed -- too. three for three, slay 🙈

✨ DESCRIPTION

Do not call ps3_vuart_raw_read directly, use ps3_vuart_read.

that's it. that's the whole description. she's short, she's mysterious, she knows exactly what she is 👑

fr fr though, take the "do not call directly" bit seriously — the man page is basically standing between you and this function with a hand out like "bestie no" 😭
