slim_write(9)

🦋 slim_write(9) — Kernel API Manual 🦋

okay bestie, this is the manual page for slim_write, and it’s giving “small function, very important little task.” no cap. ✨

💖 NAME 💖

slim_write — Write SLIMbus value element.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int slim_write (struct slim_device *sdev , u32 addr , size_t count , u8
       *val );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• sdev — client handle. Yes, that’s the one, bestie. 💅
• addr — address in the value element to write. Like the exact spot you’re pulling up to. 📍
• count — number of bytes to write. Maximum bytes allowed are 16. 16 is the ceiling, periodt. 🚦
• val — value to write to value element. The actual content, the main character of this operation. 🌟

🌈 RETURN 🌈

• -EINVAL — for Invalid parameters. Bestie, the inputs were not it. 💀
• -ETIMEDOUT — If transmission of this message timed out (e.g. due to bus lines not being clocked or driven by controller). So yeah, the message tried to send but the bus situation was lowkey not cooperating. 😭
