STRUCT IWL_FW_DUMP_DESC(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct iwl_fw_dump_desc(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ β€” today's hyperfixation is struct iwl_fw_dump_desc, and honestly? it's giving tiny-but-powerful. it's the little struct whose whole entire job is describing the dump. no cap, that's the vibe. πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct iwl_fw_dump_desc β€” describes the dump πŸ’–


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the shape of it, copy-paste exact, do not touch:

struct iwl_fw_dump_desc {
    size_t len;
    struct iwl_fw_error_dump_trigger_desc trig_desc;
};

look at her. two members. main character energy. πŸ‘‘


🫢 Members 🫢

  • len β€” the length of trig_desc->data. that's it, that's the whole job. it's the measuring tape of the operation πŸ“
  • trig_desc β€” the actual description of the dump. the lore. the backstory. the whole reason we're here πŸ¦‹

ngl bestie, this one's short and sweet β€” but every field eats, and every reference slays. periodt. πŸ’…
