si476x_core...m_seek_start(9)

✨ si476x_core...m_seek_start(9) ✨

okay so this is straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the glow-up guide for one tiny function, bestie 💅 buckle up

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

si476x_core_cmd_am_seek_start — the function that sends the 'FM_SEEK_START' command to the device 🫶

(and yes, the name says am while the command says FM — that's exactly how the original reads, no cap, not me editing anything 🙈)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int si476x_core_cmd_am_seek_start (struct si476x_core *core , bool
       seekup , bool wrap );

that's the whole vibe check — three things in, one int out 💖

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• core — the device you're sending the command to ✨
• seekup — if it's set, the direction of the search is 'up' ⬆️
• wrap — if it's set, the seek wraps when it hits the band limit 🔁

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this function begins the search for a valid station 🔥 the station gets considered valid when 'FM_VALID_SNR_THRESHOLD' and are met — that's genuinely how the line reads in the source, it trails off mid-thought, iykyk 😭 not me adding words that aren't there

the function returns 0 on success and a negative error code on failure 👑
