✨ NAME ✨

t3_mc7_bd_read — read from MC7 through backdoor accesses 🔥

no cap, that's it. that's the function.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int t3_mc7_bd_read (struct mc7 *mc7 , unsigned int start , unsigned int
n , u64 *buf );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• mc7 — identifies MC7 to read from. like, which MC7. this one. 👈
• start — index of first 64-bit word to read. your starting point, your main character entrance.
• n — number of 64-bit words to read. how many you grabbing.
• buf — where to store the read result. the lil home for your data 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Read n 64-bit words from MC7 starting at word start, using backdoor accesses.

that's the whole thing and honestly? iconic. you tell it where to start, how many words you want, and where to put them, and it goes in through the backdoor to get them. ✨ no front-door energy here. 🚪💀
