t4_cim_write(9)

💖 t4_cim_write(9) 💖

okay so this one's straight out of the Kernel API Manual bestie — say hi to t4_cim_write 👋

---

✨ NAME ✨

t4_cim_write — literally just writes a block into the CIM internal address space. that's it. that's the whole job 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int t4_cim_write (struct adapter *adap , unsigned int addr , unsigned int n , const unsigned int *valp );

she takes four things and returns an int, periodt ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• adap — the adapter. the main character of this whole operation 🫶
• addr — the start address within the CIM address space. like, where the writing begins in question 📍
• n — number of words to write. how many words, bestie, count them 🌸
• valp — set of values to write. this is the payload, the moment, the whole vibe 💜

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Writes a block of 4-byte words into the CIM internal address space. that's the flex. block of 4-byte words, going in, CIM internal address space, done ✨

ngl the original page spells it "intenal" 😭 that's a typo, the word is internal, but the behaviour is exactly the same — block, 4-byte words, CIM address space. no cap.

like i said. she knows everyone 😭💀 and every single one of those is a real (9) reference, we do not drop a single name in this house 🫶

that is the entire page bestie — no options, no env vars, no exit statuses, no bugs section, nothing hidden. t4_cim_write just writes a block of 4-byte words into the CIM internal address space and goes home 💅

and that's a wrap, fr fr 🎀 mwah 💖
