💅 vme_lm_attach(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to vme_lm_attach(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and no cap this one is lowkey iconic 💖

🎀 NAME 🎀

vme_lm_attach — "provide callback for location monitor address" like the original says, but make it cute: it's the function that hooks your callback up to a location monitor address so your code gets pinged when the action happens 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int vme_lm_attach (struct vme_resource *resource , int monitor , void
(*callback)(void *) , void *data );

that's the whole signature, verbatim, don't @ me 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • resource — pointer to your VME location monitor resource. it's the whole vibe check for which resource you're attaching to 💜
  • monitor — the offset to which the callback should be attached. like, which spot on the monitor is getting the callback, iykyk ✨
  • callback — pointer to the callback function that gets called when it's triggered. the main character function fr 🔥
  • data — a generic pointer that will be passed to the callback function. it's giving "carry the vibes through" 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically: attach a callback to the specified offset into the location monitors' monitored addresses. a generic pointer is provided so you can pass data through to the callback when it gets called — literally the definition, no cap 🌸

🌈 RETURN 🌈

  • zero on success 🎉 (slay)
  • -EINVAL when you've been handed an invalid location monitor resource, or when the function is not supported 😭
  • Hardware specific errors may also be returned, so stay alert bestie 👀
lowkey heads up: -EINVAL is the "your resource is sus or this isn't supported" era, and hardware-specific errors can absolutely show up too. do not assume zero equals guaranteed happy ending every time 💀
