💅 tegra_ivc_write_get_next_frame(9) 💅

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about one very specific little function. buckle up bestie, it's a short one but it's lowkey iconic 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

tegra_ivc_write_get_next_frame — poke at the next frame to transmit, via the @ivc pointer of the IVC channel 🦋

like, that's literally the whole vibe. you're getting a peek at the next frame that's about to go out the door. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int tegra_ivc_write_get_next_frame (struct tegra_ivc *ivc , struct
       iosys_map *map );

that's it. that's the signature. she's cute, she's simple, she takes two args and hands you back an int 💖

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • ivc — -- undescribed -- 😭 the manpage literally gives us nothing here bestie. not a single crumb of description. we simply do not know. it's giving mystery main character energy ✨
  • map — -- undescribed -- 🙈 same situation fr fr. undescribed. the docs said "figure it out" and left. iykyk 💀
not me pointing out that both arguments are officially listed as undescribed — that's exactly what the original says, so we're keeping it 100. no inventing lore. periodt. 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does she actually do? get access to the next frame. that's the whole thing. that's the assignment and she ate 🔥

she returns a pointer to the frame — or, plot twist, an error encoded pointer 💀 so like, vibe check your return value before you go dereferencing anything, okay? it might not be a happy little frame pointer, it might be an error wearing a pointer costume. be smart about it 🧚

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

go look at the kernel file ./include/soc/tegra/ivc.h for the full picture, and also go say hi to these sibling functions, they're all in the same friend group 💅

and that's the whole page, bestie 🍓 it lives over in ./include/soc/tegra, dated October 2026, and it's filed under the Kernel API Manual if you ever need to find it again. mwah 💋 ⭐
