sil_set_mode(9)

✨ sil_set_mode(9) ✨

okay so bestie, this one is from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s short but iconic 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

sil_set_mode — wrap set_mode functions. periodt.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int sil_set_mode (struct ata_link *link , struct ata_device **r_failed );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• link — the link to set up. literally the thing we’re working on ✨
• r_failed — the returned device when we fail. so if it goes sideways, this is where the failed device comes back 🙈

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So here’s the vibe: this wraps the libata method for device setup, because after the setup we need to inspect the results and do some configuration work. no cap, that’s the whole reason it exists 💅
