ras_eeprom_append(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, welcome to ras_eeprom_append(9) — direct from the Kernel API Manual — and it's literally about appending records to the EEPROM RAS table. The vibe? Kernel-core main character energy with a checksum side quest. 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ras_eeprom_append is the function, and its whole thing is appending records to the EEPROM RAS table. The NAME line has that little double-dash moment (- -) before the description — iconic formatting, honestly — but the meaning is still “append records to the EEPROM RAS table.” 🫶

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

Here's the signature, copied exactly so nobody comes for me:

int ras_eeprom_append (struct ras_core_context *ras_core , struct
       eeprom_umc_record *record , const u32 num );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ras_core — pointer to the ras_core context. It's the context, bestie, you know the one.
  • record — array of records to append. Yes, an array — not a single record, don't try it. 🙈
  • num — number of records in the record array.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Append num records to the table, calculate the checksum, and write the table back to EEPROM. The maximum number of records that can be appended is between 1 and control->ras_max_record_count — and that's regardless of how many records are already stored in the table. So the cap does not care about the table's current population. 😭

Return 0 on success or if EEPROM is not supported. On error, it returns -errno.
