okay bestie, welcome to xemaclite_aligned_read(9) from the Kernel API Manual β yes it's a real kernel manpage and yes it's iconic π
β¨ NAME β¨
xemaclite_aligned_read β reading from a 32-bit aligned source over into a 16-bit aligned buffer, no cap π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void xemaclite_aligned_read (u32 *src_ptr , u8 *dest_ptr , unsigned int
length );
π ARGUMENTS π
src_ptrβ the pointer to the 32-bit aligned source address, like she's the main character of the source side πdest_ptrβ the pointer to the 16-bit aligned destination address, where everything's gonna land π«Άlengthβ how many bytes to read from the source and hand over to the destination, literally the number of bytes, that's the whole vibe β
π§ DESCRIPTION π§
so this function right, it reads data from a 32-bit aligned address inside the EmacLite device and copies it over to a 16-bit aligned buffer. that's it, that's the plot π¦ lowkey slay, highkey essential.
