sof_copy_tuples(9)

💅 NAME 💅

sof_copy_tuples — bestie, this one parses your tokens and copies them straight into the @tuples array. Periodt.

(this is section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, and the page is literally called sof_copy_tuples(9) — iykyk 🫶)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int sof_copy_tuples (struct snd_sof_dev *sdev , struct
snd_soc_tplg_vendor_array *array , int array_size , u32 token_id , int
token_instance_num , struct snd_sof_tuple *tuples , int tuples_size ,
int *num_copied_tuples );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

okay so here's the cast, everyone plays a role, no small parts 💖

• sdev — pointer to struct snd_sof_dev. your main character struct, lowkey.
• array — source pointer to consecutive vendor arrays in topology. it's giving "where the good stuff lives" ✨
• array_size — size of array. the vibe check on how much of it we're actually looking at.
• token_id — Token ID associated with a token array. your little name tag for the token group 🏷️
• token_instance_num — number of times the same token_id needs to be parsed, i.e. the function looks for token_instance_num of each token in the token array associated with the token_id. so if it shows up more than once, this says how many rounds we're doing — not me counting my iced coffees 😭
• tuples — tuples array to copy the matched tuples to. the destination, the final form, the glow-up 🦋
• tuples_size — size of tuples. know your limits bestie 💀
• num_copied_tuples — pointer to the number of copied tuples in the tuples array. it's the receipt, it tells you how many made it 🧾
