STRUCT MTD_OOB_REGION(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

struct mtd_oob_region β€” okay so this is literally the oob region definition, bestie, that's the whole vibe


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

So this is the manual page for struct mtd_oob_region, from the Kernel API Manual (yep, that's the manual name, we're fancy now πŸŽ€), and here's the whole struct in all its iconic glory:

struct mtd_oob_region {
    u32 offset;
    u32 length;
 };

That's it. Two fields. Minimalist queen behavior, honestly. πŸ’…


🫢 MEMBERS 🫢

  • offset β€” the region offset, no cap. This is where the region starts, lowkey the origin story of your region. ⭐
  • length β€” the region length, fr fr. How long it goes on for. πŸ“

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so picture this: this structure describes a region of the OOB area, and it's the it-girl used to retrieve ECC or free bytes sections. Each section is defined by an offset within the OOB area and a length. That's the entire lore. πŸ¦‹

Literally, each section = an offset within the OOB area + a length. Two numbers, one region, main character energy. πŸ‘‘
