💅 xe_engine_sn...re_for_queue(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — today's main character is xe_engine_sn...re_for_queue, and yes the name is literally that long, we don't make the rules 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

xe_engine_snapshot_capture_for_queue — take a snapshot of the associated engine ✨

Like, it grabs a lil pic of the engine's whole vibe so you can look at it later. No cap.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void xe_engine_snapshot_capture_for_queue (struct xe_exec_queue *q );

That's it. One argument. One function. Zero drama. 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• q — the exec queue object 👑 this is the queue we're taking a snapshot of, she's the main event

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

Take a snapshot of the associated HW Engine 🔥

That's the whole thing, honestly — it's giving "short and iconic". You hand it an exec queue, it captures the state of the hardware engine that's attached to it. Very demure, very mindful. 🧚

---

💜 RETURN 💜

None. 💀

Literally nothing comes back. It's void. Don't go looking for a return value, bestie, there isn't one — it does the thing and dips. 🙈
