qed_dbg_parse_attn(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… qed_dbg_parse_attn β€” kernel API manual, but make it make sense πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, welcome to qed_dbg_parse_attn(9) πŸ¦‹ β€” yes, that's the manual name, and yes, it's a whole thing. this one is a kernel API page, and honestly? it's giving "short but important." let's get into it ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

qed_dbg_parse_attn β€” parses and prints attention registers values in the specified results struct. that's literally the whole job, no cap πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum dbg_status qed_dbg_parse_attn (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , struct
dbg_attn_block_result *results );

so it hands you back an enum dbg_status, and it takes two things: your HW device data and a pointer to the results. iconic signature behavior, fr fr 🫢


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • p_hwfn β€” HW device data. that's your hardware function handle, the main character of this whole operation πŸ‘‘
  • results β€” pointer to the attention read results. this is where the attention stuff gets kept, and our function is gonna parse and print the values in there πŸ’–

πŸ”₯ RETURN πŸ”₯

it returns an error if one of the following holds:

  • the version wasn't set. 😭

otherwise, it returns ok. and that's it β€” that's the whole mood. version not set = error, everything else = ok, periodt ✨

lowkey a reminder that the version has to be set before you call this, or you get the error treatment. not me warning you twice πŸ’€
