*var , int nom , int den );

like, four args, one int return, she's got that classic kernel signature going on 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • info — a pointer to the fb_info object that's carrying all the info for the current riva board 🎀 that's the main character of this whole thing

  • nom — it's nom 🍓 that's the whole description. that's all we got. iykyk
  • den — and this one's den. also no elaboration. the manpage said "you'll figure it out" and honestly? iconic 🙈

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

the description is literally just a period. . 💀 that's it. that's the whole description.
