Function Documentation

◆ aml_pkg_lead_byte_read()

uint64_t aml_pkg_lead_byte_read	(	aml_term_list_ctx_t *	ctx,
		aml_pkg_lead_byte_t *	out
	)

Reads a PkgLeadByte structure from the AML byte stream.

The PkgLeadByte structure is defined as:

bit 7-6: bytedata count that follows (0-3)
bit 5-4: only used if pkglength <= 63
bit 3-0: least significant package length nybble

Parameters

ctx	The context of the TermList that this structure is part of.
out	The output buffer to store the lead byte.

Returns: On success, 0. On failure, ERR and errno is set.

◆ aml_pkg_length_read()

uint64_t aml_pkg_length_read	(	aml_term_list_ctx_t *	ctx,
		aml_pkg_length_t *	out
	)

Reads a PkgLength structure from the AML byte stream.

The PkgLength structure is defined as PkgLength := PkgLeadByte | <pkgleadbyte bytedata> | <pkgleadbyte bytedata bytedata> | <pkgleadbyte bytedata bytedata bytedata>.

A PkgLength structure specifies the length from its own start to the end of the data for the operation/structure it is part of, as such the PkgLength includes the length of the PkgLength structure itself.

See also: Section 5.4.1 of the ACPI specification for more details.

Parameters

ctx	The context of the TermList that this structure is part of.
out	The output buffer to store the package length.

Returns: On success, 0. On failure, ERR and errno is set.
