rt2x00_desc_read(9)

🌸 rt2x00_desc_read — a whole manpage, but make it cute 🌸

Ok so bestie, gather round, because this one is from the Kernel API Manual and it's genuinely such a little icon. We're talking about rt2x00_desc_read, and the whole vibe is: read a word from the hardware descriptor, and this function will take care of the byte ordering for you. No cap, that's the entire serve. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

rt2x00_desc_read — read a word from the hardware descriptor, and this function will take care of the byte ordering. That's it, that's the whole personality. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

u32 rt2x00_desc_read (__le32 *desc , const u8 word );

Look at her. Gorgeous. Returns a u32, takes two args. Living her best life. ✨

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• desc — the base descriptor address. Like, the actual starting point of the descriptor, that's where she begins her little journey. 📍
• word — the word index telling you from where the descriptor should be read. Not the whole thing, bestie, just the one word, indexed. 🫶

Okay this list is LONG and I refuse to leave a single one out because every single one of these is a main character in the same friend group, fr fr. Also heads up: this is all chillin' in the kernel file ./drivers/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2x00queue.h. 🌈

Bestie reminder: this page isn't from the normal section 1 vibe, it's a (9) kernel API page, so if you're googling it expecting a command, that's not her. She's a kernel function. 🧚

And that's the page!! Shoutout to the source and version, which live at ./drivers/net/wireless/ralink/... (yes, the totally dramatic trailing ellipsis is canon, I don't make the rules), dated October 2026, and the manual is rt2x00_desc_read(9) — the Kernel API Manual girlies stay winning. Mwah, study hard, drink water, and always handle your byte ordering. 😭💖🫶
