sdio_readsb(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… sdio_readsb β€” like, the SDIO FIFO reader you've been waiting for

okay so bestie, welcome to sdio_readsb(9) from the Kernel API Manual β€” yes it's a kernel manpage, yes it's giving serious main character energy, and yes we're gonna get through it together 🫢✨


✨ NAME ✨

sdio_readsb β€” read from a FIFO on a SDIO function

That's it. That's the whole vibe. You're reading bytes out of a FIFO that lives on an SDIO function. Slay πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int sdio_readsb (struct sdio_func *func , void *dst , unsigned int addr
, int count );

look at her. iconic signature. no notes πŸ”₯


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • func β€” the SDIO function you're accessing, like, the thing you're talking to πŸ’–
  • dst β€” the buffer where the data gets stored (this is where the goods land πŸ“)
  • addr β€” address of the (single byte) FIFO. yes, single byte, the original said it, so I'm saying it 🎯
  • count β€” number of bytes to read, i.e. how much you're grabbing πŸŽ€

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So here's the tea β˜• β€” this function reads from the specified FIFO of a given SDIO function. That's the whole job. It's giving "I do one thing and I do it well" πŸ’…

The return value tells you if the transfer succeeded or not. Success? Slay. Failure? Well. You'll know 😭 That's literally all the original says, and I'm not out here inventing lore, periodt.

ngl the whole thing is short and sweet β€” read the FIFO, return whether it worked. no cap, that's the entire plot πŸ’€
