STRUCT SAN_DGPU_EVENT(9)

✨ NAME ✨

ok so bestie, this is struct san_dgpu_event — the Discrete GPU ACPI event struct, from the struct san_dgpu_event(9) Kernel API Manual 💖 and literally all it does is package up one (1) ACPI event so the kernel can pass it around. iconic behavior tbh.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's the whole vibe, no cap — copy it exactly:

struct san_dgpu_event {
    u8 category;
    u8 target;
    u8 command;
    u8 instance;
    u16 length;
    u8 *payload;
 };

💅 MEMBERS 💅

okay so let's meet the cast, because every single field is doing main character work 🔥

• category — the Category of the event. like, what kind of event is this. yes bestie, categories matter.
• target — the Target ID of the event source. it's giving "who is this even for" energy.
• command — the Command ID of the event. the actual instruction, the moment, the ~what do we do~.
• instance — the Instance ID of the event source. which specific one of them, iykyk.
• length — Length of the event's payload data, measured in bytes. u16 btw. don't forget the units, that's such a classic mistake 🙈
• payload — pointer to the event's payload data. it's a u8 *, it points at the good stuff, that's the whole job 🫶

ngl there are no hidden fields, no surprises — just these six. go read the header if you don't believe me 💀

alright bestie that's the whole page 💅 this lil writeup lives in ./include/linux (Kernel API Manual vibes), dated October 2026, under the very official title struct san_dgpu_event(9) — slay, go forth and read structs responsibly 👑🌸
