ps3_write_pm07_control(9)

💅 ps3_write_pm07_control — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie ✨

Okay so picture this: you're deep in the ps3 kernel API manual (ps3_write_pm07_control(9), yes that's the whole name, she's long but she's iconic) and you just need to write to a counter control register. That's it. That's the page. Let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ps3_write_pm07_control — literally just writes counter control registers. That's her whole job. Slay. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ps3_write_pm07_control (u32 cpu , u32 ctr , u32 val );

Three u32s walk into a function. No return value, no drama, no notes. 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cpu — okay so, -- undescribed -- 😭 like the docs just Did Not elaborate. She's mysterious. She's giving main character energy but also zero lore.
• ctr — also -- undescribed -- 🙈 bestie the manpage really said "figure it out" for this one too.
• val — and -- undescribed -- 💀 iykyk, ngl the source is right there in the page if you're nosy (see below).

Fr fr though: those three are marked -- undescribed -- in the original docs, so I'm not gonna sit here and make up a personality for them. No cap, no invented facts. 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Here's the actual tea ☕: each logical counter has a corresponding control register. That's the whole vibe. One logical counter → one control register, matched up, obsessed with the symmetry. 🌈

And this function writes to it. Simple, clean, unbothered. ✨
