💅 xilinx_mcdma_start_transfer(9) — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay so welcome to the group chat, bestie ✨ this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's about one (1) function that kicks off an MCDMA transfer. short page, elite vibes, let's go 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

xilinx_mcdma_start_transfer — Starts MCDMA transfer 💅 that's it, that's the whole job. she starts the transfer. no cap.

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

void xilinx_mcdma_start_transfer (struct xilinx_dma_chan *chan );

the way this is a void function with exactly one argument… lowkey iconic 🫶 she takes the channel and she goes.

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• chan — Driver specific channel struct pointer 🌈 literally just a pointer to the driver-specific channel struct. that's the whole vibe check. hand her the channel, she does the thing ✨
