👑 scsw_is_valid_ectl — a little vibe check for your ectl field

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a short one but it matters. bestie, we're checking whether a field is valid. that's the whole gig. no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

scsw_is_valid_ectl — check ectl field validity 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int scsw_is_valid_ectl (union scsw *scsw );

that's it. one function, one argument, one int coming back at you. iconic. ⭐

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • scsw — pointer to scsw. that's your union, that's who we're inspecting. hand it over and let the function do its little check 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea ☕ — this function returns non-zero if the ectl field of the specified scsw is valid. and it does that regardless of whether it's a transport mode scsw or a command mode scsw. both vibes welcome, no gatekeeping 💜

and if the field does not contain a valid value? you get zero. that's the whole mood. no exceptions, no extra lore. periodt. 🎯

lowkey the simplest function on the block and she still ate 💀
