STRUCT SCI_REMOTE_NODE_CONTEXT(9)
okay so bestie, welcome to the struct sci_remote_node_context page β straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9, no cap. This one's a struct page, so it's mostly vibes and a code block, but we're gonna read it together like the group chat is watching. π«Ά
π NAME π
struct sci_remote_node_context β this structure contains the data associated with the remote node context object.
and like, what is that? okay so: the remote node context (RNC) object models the remote device information necessary to manage the silicon RNC. that's it, that's the whole persona. it's giving "little struct, big responsibilities." π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
here's the glow-up, laid out exactly as written:
struct sci_remote_node_context {
u16 remote_node_index;
u32 suspend_type;
enum sci_remote_node_suspension_reasons suspend_reason;
u32 suspend_count;
enum sci_remote_node_context_destination_state destination_state;
scics_sds_remote_node_context_callback user_callback;
void *user_cookie;
struct sci_base_state_machine sm;
};
eight members, zero filler. we love a compact icon. π
π¦ MEMBERS π¦
okay real talk β the original page has a Members heading but the section underneath is, um, empty. nothing. a whole vibe with no text. π so I'm not gonna sit here and invent lore about what each field does, because that would be fake news and we don't do that. here's just the roster, exactly as the struct declares them:
u16 remote_node_indexβ yep, it's there. πΈu32 suspend_typeβ also there. π«Άenum sci_remote_node_suspension_reasons suspend_reasonβ suspension reasons, enum-flavored. πu32 suspend_countβ a count. of suspends. obviously. β¨enum sci_remote_node_context_destination_state destination_stateβ destination state energy. π§scics_sds_remote_node_context_callback user_callbackβ your callback, bestie. πvoid *user_cookieβ the cookie. it's a pointer. that's all we know. πstruct sci_base_state_machine smβ a base state machine, living its main character life. π
fr fr: if you want the actual per-member documentation, this page doesn't have it. I'm not gonna make it up for you β that would be so not slay of me. π
