st_int_write(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 st_int_write(9) β€” a Kernel API Manual moment 🌸

okay so bestie, literally welcome to st_int_write(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a tiny little function with one very specific job and honestly the docs are giving "mystery on purpose" energy, so let's just vibe through it together 🫢


πŸ’… NAME

st_int_write β€” point this to tty->driver->write or tty->ops->write depending upon the kernel version πŸ’«

like, that's it, that's the whole assignment. you're the matchmaker between this function and whichever write hook your kernel era expects, iykyk πŸŽ€


✨ SYNOPSIS

int st_int_write (const unsigned char*, const unsigned char*, int );

no cap, that's the exact signature, character for character β€” do not come for me about the spacing, I copied it faithfully πŸ’–


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS

bestie… I have to be so fr fr with you right now 😭 the source page says all three of these are -- undescribed --, so I'm not gonna sit here and invent lore that isn't in the original. no guessing, no fanfic, periodt πŸ’€

  • const unsigned char* β€” -- undescribed -- πŸ™ˆ (yes, really. the manpage left us on read.)
  • const unsigned char* β€” -- undescribed -- 🫢 (also left on read. iconic of it, honestly.)
  • int β€” -- undescribed -- πŸ’… (third one's the same story. we simply do not know from this page.)
heads up: if you need to know what these actually mean, this page is not gonna tell you β€” and I'm not about to make something up. go read the source, bestie, it's giving detective arc πŸ”₯
