write_qp_ctxts(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… write_qp_ctxts β€” kernel API manual, section 9

okay so bestie, welcome to the write_qp_ctxts(9) page πŸ’– this is the kernel API manual entry for it, and honestly? it's a little one. but it still ate, so let's get into it 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

write_qp_ctxts β€” write the qp ctxt to HW ✨

like literally that's the whole job. write the qp ctxt. to HW. no cap.


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

int write_qp_ctxts (struct hinic_func_to_io *func_to_io , u16 base_qpn ,
u16 num_qps );

it's giving function signature realness πŸ‘‘ returns an int, takes three args, we love a tidy little call πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • func_to_io β€” the func to io channel that holds the IO components 🧚 this is the container, the main character, the thing that's got all the IO bits in it
  • base_qpn β€” first qp number ⭐ literally the starting qp number, that's it, that's the vibe
  • num_qps β€” number of qps to write 🌸 how many qps we're writing, bestie. the count. the amount. the quantity

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

okay so the actual behaviour description is short and sweet and I respect it so much for that:

  • Return 0 β€” Success πŸŽ‰
  • negative β€” Failure 😭

that's it. that's the whole description. no extra lore, no bonus features, just: zero means slay, negative means it did not slay πŸ’€

fr fr keep that in mind β€” a negative return is your failure signal, so vibe check your return value before you assume everything's iconic ✨
