✨ NAME ✨

si476x_core_i2c_xfer β€” and that's literally it, bestie: the original NAME line is just the function name plus a little dash 🫠 no extra blurb, no cap.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

int si476x_core_i2c_xfer (struct si476x_core *core , enum
       si476x_i2c_type type , char *buf , int count );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • core β€” the Core device structure, aka the main character of this whole function πŸ‘‘
  • type β€” the Transfer type, periodt πŸ¦‹
  • buf β€” the Transfer buffer for/with data, exactly as the page says πŸ“
  • count β€” the Transfer buffer size, so we know how much buffer we're working with πŸ’…

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

okay so here's the tea: this function performs an I2C transfer (either read or write) and keeps a counter of I/O errors. If the error counter rises above the threshold, it pronounces the device dead πŸ’€ β€” dramatic? yes. accurate to the page? also yes.

The function returns zero on success or a negative error code on failure. That's the whole return vibe: 0 = slay, negative = not slay 😭.
