send_mad_capabilities(9)

💖 send_mad_capabilities(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual bestie 💖

okay so this is send_mad_capabilities(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's genuinely so much. picture me, a Gen Z girl who also happens to know her way around a crq queue, explaining it to you in the group chat. no cap, it's giving "small function, big responsibilities." ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

send_mad_capabilities — literally sends the mad capabilities request and stores the result so it can be retrieved with 🫶

okay yes, the original sentence trails off right there at "retrieved with" — I'm not finishing it for you, bestie, because I refuse to invent words that aren't in the manpage. what you see is what you get. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void send_mad_capabilities (struct ibmvscsi_host_data *hostdata );

look at her. void, no return value, just vibes and one pointer. main character energy fr fr. ⭐

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hostdata — the ibmvscsi_host_data of host 🥰 that's the whole thing. that's the argument. she takes the host's data, she does her lil capabilities request thing. iconic, honestly.
