velocity_get_pci_info(9)

🌸 velocity_get_pci_info — like, the whole manual page, bestie 🌸

okay so quick vibe check: this is a kernel API manual page, section 9, and it's all about a function called velocity_get_pci_info. yes the name is long. yes it's iconic. we move.

---

✨ NAME ✨

velocity_get_pci_info — lowkey just goes and gets the PCI info for a device 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int velocity_get_pci_info (struct velocity_info *vptr );

that's it. that's the whole call. so clean, so demure 🫶

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• vptr — the velocity device, aka your main character struct. you hand it over, it goes to work. slay.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically this function reaches into the kernel PCI layer and pulls out the PCI configuration space data that interests us.

that's the whole plot. no plot twist. it's giving "short and efficient" and honestly? obsessed. 🦋

not me explaining it in one sentence — the original manpage did too. periodt.

ngl bestie, still not over how this page is short enough to read in one breath. go read the neighbours anyway. 💜
