rio_local_read_config_32(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… rio_local_read_config_32(9) β€” like, the Kernel API Manual one, bestie

okay so picture this: it's a 9-section kernel API page, the title is rio_local_read_config_32, and it's giving "tiny function, big responsibility." come sit with me πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

rio_local_read_config_32 β€” read 32 bits from local configuration space. that's it, that's the whole vibe. thirty-two bits. local. configuration space. slay.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

int rio_local_read_config_32 (struct rio_mport *port , u32 offset , u32
* data );

look at her. int return, three args, no cap. the signature literally wraps onto two lines and she still ate. 😭


🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

three of them, bestie, and you will be meeting all three:

  • port β€” the master port. like, the main character of this whole operation 🫢
  • offset β€” the offset into local configuration space. where the reading happens. iykyk ✨
  • data β€” pointer to read data into. she's empty right now, but not for long πŸ’–

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

okay so the whole thing is literally this: it reads 32 bits of data from the specified offset within the local device's configuration space. that's the tea. that's the entire plot. thirty-two bits, from the offset you named, out of the local device's own config space. no drama, no surprises β€” just a clean 32-bit read and honestly? iconic. πŸ”₯


🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

the whole friend group shows up for this one β€” kernel file ./include/linux/rio_drv.h, plus every cousin, sibling and distant relative:

twenty-one references. she brought the whole group chat. πŸ‘‘


for real though β€” if you're poking at RapidIO config space, read your 32 bits responsibly and go read the 8- and 16-bit versions too when the width matters. πŸ’€
