vme_get_size(9)

💅 vme_get_size — the lil helper that tells u how big ur VME window is

okay so bestie, welcome to vme_get_size(9) from the Kernel API Manual 🎀 this one's a short one but she's iconic in her own低调 way — literally the "just check the size for me please" friend of the VME subsystem.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

size_t vme_get_size (struct vme_resource *resource );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one arg in, one size out. slay.

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• resource — a pointer to a VME slave or master resource. like, whichever one u got handed. she'll figure it out 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does she actually do? she determines the size of the VME window u provided. that's the whole job. no cap.

and here's the cute part — she's a helper function, meaning she's basically a wrapper 🎀 she just forwards the call to either vme_master_get or vme_slave_get, depending on what type of window resource u handed her. so like, she does the vibe check on ur resource and then delegates to the right icon. main character energy, honestly 💅

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• size of the window on success 🎉
• zero on failure 😭 (bestie... check ur resource, fr fr)

💀 reminder bestie: she returns zero on failure, and zero is also a legit size in some contexts, so don't be out here assuming zero always means "everything's fine" without checking. the page just says size on success / zero on failure — that's the contract, periodt.

---

okay that's the whole page, ily, go read ur VME windows 📖✨

sign-off time: this lil beauty lives in ./drivers/staging/vme_user and the manual's dated October 2026 — mwah, bye 🧚💜
