STRUCT PDS_CORE_LIF_IDENTIFY_CMD(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so this is the struct pds_core_lif_identify_cmd(9) page (from the Kernel API Manual, bestie) and it's literally the Get LIF identity info command 🎀 like that's the whole vibe — it's the struct you send when you wanna ask a device "hey queen, who are you actually?"

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

no cap, here's the whole struct, verbatim, don't @ me:

struct pds_core_lif_identify_cmd {
    u8 opcode;
    u8 type;
    __le16 client_id;
    u8 ver;
    u8 rsvd[3];
    __le64 ident_pa;
};

---

🎀 MEMBERS 🎀

okay breaking it down field by field, keep up 💖

• opcode — the opcode, and it's PDS_AQ_CMD_LIF_IDENTIFY. that's THE one. the main character of opcodes here 👑
• type — LIF type, and it's an enum pds_core_lif_type. pick your fighter 🦋
• client_id — the client identifier. that's you, babe, that's your name in the group chat 💅
• ver — version of the identify info that the device hands back to you. the device returns it, you don't set it. iykyk 🌸
• rsvd — word boundary padding. it's the filler episode of the struct, just there to keep the alignment cute 😭 three of them, rsvd[3]
• ident_pa — a DMA address, and it's where you want the identity info to land. that's the drop-off point 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: firmware will copy the LIF identity data (struct pds_core_lif_identity) straight into the buffer address you gave it. that's it. that's the whole thing. you hand over ident_pa, firmware fills it in, slay ✨

fr fr, the address you pass is the buffer the firmware writes into — so make sure it's a real one, bestie 🧚
