💾 ps3stor_read_write_sectors(9) 💾

okay bestie so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's all about ps3stor_read_write_sectors — literally the function that reads from or writes to a storage device 🎀 like it's right there in the name, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

ps3stor_read_write_sectors — read/write from/to a storage device 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u64 ps3stor_read_write_sectors (struct ps3_storage_device *dev , u64
lpar , u64 start_sector , u64 sectors , int write );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — pointer to a struct ps3_storage_device 💖 this is your device bestie, show them some respect.
• lpar — the HV logical partition address ✨ (hypervisor vibes, very main character).
• start_sector — the first sector to read/write 🌟 where the party starts, basically.
• sectors — how many sectors to read/write 🍓 the guest list length, iykyk.
• write — flag telling it which way to go: non-zero means write ✍️, zero means read 👀. Choose wisely.

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So here's the tea ☕ — the return value is doing a lot of work:

• returns 0 for success 🎉 slay, it worked.
• returns -1 if the command fails to submit 😭 nope, didn't even leave the group chat.
• returns an LV1 status value in case of other errors 💀 a whole hypervisor status code, so read it carefully.

fr fr bestie, don't just check for zero and dip — that LV1 status value is carrying real information.
