💅 spum_rx_status_len(9)

okay bestie, welcome to spum_rx_status_len(9) — that's the manual name, and yes it's a whole mouthful, but honestly it's one of the chillest little functions in the kernel API manual and you're gonna slay it. This page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's about finding out how long the STATUS field is in a SPU response message. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

spum_rx_status_len — returns the length of the STATUS field in a SPU response message. no cap, that's literally the entire job. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u8 spum_rx_status_len (void );

look at that signature. a whole u8 return type. no parameters to worry about. it's giving low-maintenance icon. ✨

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • void — no arguments. none. zero. the function is self-sufficient and honestly kind of main character energy about it. 💅

like fr fr, you don't pass it anything, you don't set anything up, it just knows. iykyk.

👑 RETURN 👑

Returns the length of the STATUS field, measured in bytes. that's the number you get back. big u8 energy, tiny but mighty. 🧚

heads up bestie: that return type is a u8, so keep that in mind when you're doing math with it — the manpage says u8, so u8 it is. 💖

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this list is long and i'm obsessed, because this function has so many siblings. all of these live in the kernel file ./drivers/crypto/bcm/spu.c:

go read all of them if you're feeling brave. that's the whole fam. 🫶

and that's the page!! short, sweet, and to the point — just like this function. this whole thing is in ./drivers/crypto/bcm, dated October 2026, and it's page spum_rx_status_len(9) of the Kernel API Manual. mwah. stay hydrated and go read your manuals bestie 💜🌸✨
