✨ q6asm_read(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual, this one's from the q6asm_read page and honestly? it's a little guy with a big job 🎀

💖 NAME 💖

q6asm_read — read data of period size from audio client

like… it literally goes and grabs you a period-sized scoop of audio data from the audio client. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🎧

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int q6asm_read (struct audio_client *ac , uint32_t stream_id );

yes that spacing is canon, don't come for me, i'm just the messenger 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ac — audio client pointer. the main character of this call, honestly. you hand it your audio client and it's like "say less" 🫶
• stream_id — stream id. which stream we're reading from, bestie, it needs to know 🎯

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

so here's the tea: it'll be a negative value on error, or zero on success. that's it. that's the whole report card. zero = slay, negative = not slay 😭
