STRUCT PDS_CORE_FW_CONTROL_CMD(9)

💅 struct pds_core_fw_control_cmd(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one (1) tiny little struct that carries a firmware control command. it's giving "small but important" energy, honestly. let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct pds_core_fw_control_cmd — the Firmware control command struct. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole thing laid out, no cap:

struct pds_core_fw_control_cmd {
    u8 opcode;
    u8 rsvd[3];
    u8 oper;
    u8 slot;
 };

look at her. five fields, all cozy. 👑

---

🌸 Members 🌸

• opcode — literally the opcode. that's what the manpage says and i'm not gonna invent lore, so: opcode. 💅
• rsvd — "Word boundary padding" — it's the filler so everything lines up all pretty. do not touch, she's structural. 🎀
• oper — the firmware control operation, and it's an enum pds_core_fw_control_oper. so this is the "what are we even doing" field. 🔥
• slot — the slot to operate on, typed as enum pds_core_fw_slot. the "where are we doing it" field. 🫶

ok and that's the whole page! you officially know everything the manpage knows, nothing more, nothing less. 💀✨

and that's a wrap, bestie 🫶 this came out of ./include/linux/pds, dated October 2026, and it's filed under struct pds_c..._control_cmd(9) — go forth and be iconic with your firmware control commands 🧚💜
