💖 ps3_write_phys_ctr 💖

okay bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for ps3_write_phys_ctr, and we are folding the manual name in right here instead of copy-pasting the header line like a NPC 🫶. It's giving low-level kernel energy, it's giving physical counters, and it's honestly kinda iconic ✨.

💅 NAME 💅

ps3_write_phys_ctr — Write physical counter registers.

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

the call is literally this, character-for-character, no edits bestie:

void ps3_write_phys_ctr (u32 cpu , u32 phys_ctr , u32 val );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cpu — the original page just says undescribed, so we are not gonna invent lore, okay? 😭
• phys_ctr — also undescribed in the original. leaving us on read fr fr 💀
• val — yep, undescribed too. the mystery continues 🕵️♀️

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Each physical counter can act as one 32 bit counter or as two 16 bit counters. That's the tea ☕ — one counter setup or two-counter setup, and this page is about writing those physical counter registers. periodt 💅
