slim_readb(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ slim_readb 💅

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is a tiny little function with big main character energy. It's from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? It's giving "short but essential." 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

slim_readb — read a byte from a SLIMbus value element 📖✨

Like, it literally just reads one single byte. One. Uno. A little guy. 🦋

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

int slim_readb (struct slim_device *sdev , u32 addr );

no cap, that's the whole thing. two args, one int back. slay. 💅

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • sdev — your client handle, bestie. this is the device you're talking to. 🔥
  • addr — the address inside the value element that you wanna read from. yep, that's the spot. 📍

⭐ RETURN ⭐

It hands you back the byte value of the value element. that's it, that's the whole return. iconic. 👑

lowkey important: the return type in the synopsis is int. so don't come for me when you're assigning it to a u8 — the manpage says what the manpage says. 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Like, go read these next, fr fr — they're all in the kernel file ./drivers/slimbus/messaging.c 📂:

the whole SLIMbus friend group, honestly. 🫶✨

and that's the vibe check, bestie — this page lives in ./drivers/slimbus and it's dated October 2026 in the Kernel API Manual. go read a byte. you got this. 💜🧚🌸
