okay so bestie, welcome to the vcn_v3_0_enc_ring_get_rptr(9) page — yes that's a whole mouthful, yes it's from the Kernel API Manual, and yes I'm obsessed. This is the little function that goes and asks the hardware "hey queen, where's your enc read pointer at?" 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

vcn_v3_0_enc_ring_get_rptr — get enc read pointer. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it gets the enc read pointer. slay. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

uint64_t vcn_v3_0_enc_ring_get_rptr (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );

like, it takes one (1) thing and gives you back a uint64_t. no cap. 🫶

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • ring — an amdgpu_ring pointer. that's the whole arg, bestie. just hand her the ring and she's good to go ✨

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Returns the current hardware enc read pointer. literally that's it — it goes and fetches the enc read pointer straight from the hardware and hands it back to you. iconic behavior honestly, no unnecessary drama, just pointer retrieval 🦋
