STRUCT FRAMER_OPS(9)

💅 struct framer_ops(9) 💅

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🫶. This is the page for struct framer_ops(9) — literally the set of function pointers for performing framer operations. It's giving "contract for framer drivers" energy, and we're gonna walk through it together. No cap.

✨ NAME ✨

struct framer_ops — set of function pointers for performing framer operations. That's the whole name, periodt.

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

ok so here's the struct in all its glory, line wraps and all, don't come for me:

struct framer_ops {
    int (*init)(struct framer *framer);
    void (*exit)(struct framer *framer);
    int (*power_on)(struct framer *framer);
    int (*power_off)(struct framer *framer);
    int (*get_status)(struct framer *framer, struct framer_status
*status);
    int (*set_config)(struct framer *framer, const struct framer_config
*config);
    int (*get_config)(struct framer *framer, struct framer_config
*config);
    u32 flags;
    struct module *owner;
 };

🎀 Members 🎀

• init — operation to be performed for initializing the framer.
• exit — operation to be performed while exiting.
• power_on — powering on the framer.
• power_off — powering off the framer.
• get_status — Optional. Used to get the framer status. framer_init must have been called on the framer.

Returns: 0 if successful, an negative error code otherwise.

• set_config — Optional. Used to set the framer configuration. framer_init must have been called on the framer.

Returns: 0 if successful, an negative error code otherwise.

• get_config — Optional. Used to get the framer configuration. framer_init must have been called on the framer.

Returns: 0 if successful, an negative error code otherwise.

• flags — OR-ed flags (FRAMER_FLAG_*) to ask for core functionality.
  • FRAMER_FLAG_POLL_STATUS: Ask the core to perform a polling to get the framer status and notify consumers on change. The framer should call framer_notify_status_change when it detects a status change. This is usually done using interrupts. If the framer cannot detect this change, it can ask the core for a status polling. The core will call get_status periodically and, on change detected, it will notify the consumer. the get_status

bestie, the page literally trails off there with the get_status 💀 we keep it because details are sacred.

• owner — the module owner containing the ops.
