💅 si476x_core_cmd_fm_rds_status — Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so bestie, we're in the kernel API manual rn and this lil function is literally the one that sends the 'FM_RDS_STATUS' command to the device. yes THAT command. she's giving radio-status icon energy ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

si476x_core_cmd_fm_rds_status — send 'FM_RDS_STATUS' command to the device 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int si476x_core_cmd_fm_rds_status (struct si476x_core *core , bool
       status_only , bool mtfifo , bool intack , struct
       si476x_rds_status_report *report );

like, that's the whole signature, no cap 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • core — the device you're sending the command to. that's her. that's the main character 💖
  • status_only — if set, the data is not removed from RDSFIFO, RDSFIFOUSED is not decremented, and the data in all the rest of the RDS data contains the last valid info received. so basically it's a look-don't-touch vibe check 👀
  • mtfifo — if set, the command clears the RDS receive FIFO 🧹
  • intack — if set, the command clears the RDSINT bit. (the original page spells it "clards" and honestly? typo era, we move 💀 the bit gets cleared.)
  • report — all the signal quality information returned by the command. if it's NULL then the output of the command is ignored 🙈

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

the function returns 0 on success and a negative error code on failure. that's it, that's the whole tea ⭐

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

kernel file ./drivers/mfd/si476x-cmd.c plus the whole friend group:

quick reminder bestie: status_only means nothing gets pulled out of the FIFO and nothing gets decremented — so don't expect fresh data from the rest of the RDS fields, you're getting the last valid info received. periodt 💅
