💅 vce_v1_0_ring_get_wptr(9) — the Kernel API Manual era ✨

okay so before we even start: this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie. That's the manual name, that's the vibe, we're in kernel-land now 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

vce_v1_0_ring_get_wptr — get write pointer. That's literally it, that's the whole job, no cap 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

uint64_t vce_v1_0_ring_get_wptr (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );

look at her go 🫶 returns a uint64_t, takes one pointer, no drama, no extra args. icon behavior.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does she actually do? She returns the current hardware write pointer. That's the entire description, and honestly? she ate. no filler, no fluff, just "here's where the hardware is writing right now" 🔥

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ring — an amdgpu_ring pointer. that's the one and only thing you hand her, bestie 💜

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

if you're the kind of girlie who reads the kernel file, it lives right here:

• Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/vce_v1_0.c

• vce_v1_0_hw_init(9)

like, get_rptr is her sibling obviously (reads the read pointer vs reads the write pointer, iykyk), set_wptr is the setter, and the rest are the rest of the vce_v1_0 squad showing up to the group chat 😭👑

ok that's the page! it's short and she knows it. main character energy with zero paragraphs of lore 💅

and a lil sign-off for the credits, because we always give credit ⭐: this one's from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, and yes she answers to the name vce_v1_0_ring_get_wptr(9) 🍓🧚
