wx_host_interface_command(9)

💅 wx_host_interface_command(9) 💅

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie. This page is all about wx_host_interface_command, and we're gonna keep it cute and complete. 🫶✨

💖 NAME 💖

wx_host_interface_command — Issue command to manageability block. that's the whole vibe. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int wx_host_interface_command (struct wx *wx , u32 *buffer , u32 length
       , u32 timeout , bool return_data );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• wx — pointer to the HW structure. hi hardware, it's me. 👑
• buffer — contains the command to write and where the return status will be placed. so it's both the "send this" spot and the "here's what happened" spot. 🔥
• length — length of buffer; it must be a multiple of 4 bytes. no chaotic byte counts, bestie. 🎀
• timeout — time in ms to wait for command completion. give it a minute... or however many milliseconds. ⏳
• return_data — read and return data from the buffer (true) or not (false). This is needed because FW structures are big endian, and those fields can decode as 8 bit or 16 bit depending on the command. Decoding isn't easily understood without making a table of commands, so it's left up to the caller to read back the data in these cases. 🦋
