💖 uvd_v7_0_enc_ring_get_wptr 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, the kernel one, the big one, and today's main character is a little function called uvd_v7_0_enc_ring_get_wptr. it's giving "tiny but essential", iykyk 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

uvd_v7_0_enc_ring_get_wptr — get enc write pointer

like, literally just get the enc write pointer. that's the whole vibe fr fr 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

uint64_t uvd_v7_0_enc_ring_get_wptr (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );

so you hand it a ring, and it hands you back a uint64_t. that's the trade. no cap ⭐

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ring — an amdgpu_ring pointer. that's it, that's the one (1) argument, and yes she's required 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Returns the current hardware enc write pointer ✨

that's the whole description, bestie — it's a short one, but she ate. this function goes and asks the hardware where the enc write pointer is right now, and gives you that value back as a uint64_t. lowkey iconic that a whole function can be one sentence and still be doing the most 🔥
