💅 sdw_show_ping_status(9) — kernel API manual, but make it cute

okay so bestie, welcome to the sdw_show_ping_status(9) page 💖 this is a Kernel API Manual situation and honestly it's giving "tiny function, big responsibilities." lowkey iconic.

---

✨ NAME ✨

sdw_show_ping_status — a direct report of PING status 🫶 and yeah, it's literally meant to be used by Peripheral drivers. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void sdw_show_ping_status (struct sdw_bus *bus, bool sync_delay);

like, that's it. that's the function. she's short, she's sweet, she returns void and she does not miss 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• bus — the SDW bus 🌈 that's the thing you're poking at, bestie.
• sync_delay — a bool that says whether there's a delay before reading status ⏳ so like… wait a sec, then look. periodt.

fr fr, those are the only two things she takes. don't overthink it 💖
