22.Sh SYNOPSIS
23.In libjedec.h

29.Sh DESCRIPTION
30The
31.Fn libjedec_vendor_string
32function translates a JEDEC vendor ID into a corresponding name.
33JEDEC vendor IDs are defined in the JEP106 standard.
34Vendor IDs come in banks and each bank contains up to 126 unique vendor
35names.
36To accommodate more than 126 vendors, a series of continuation bytes --
37repeated values of 0x7f -- are used to indicate the bank.
38Most implementations, like SPD data, don't actually encode multiple
39continuations in the data, but rather just how many continuations are
40present.
41Note, the JEP106 standard describes the first bank as bank 1; however,
42the library is phrased in terms of the number of continuations due to
43how hardware encodes this data.
44.Pp
45The value in
46.Fa cont
47should indicate the number of continuations present.
48The value in
49.Fa vendor
50indicates the vendor to look for and should include its parity bit.
51When the name is successfully found, a pointer to a constant string with
52the vendor's current name is returned.
53Note that a given vendor's name may be changed over time due to
54acquisitions.
55When the value doesn't correspond to a known name then
56.Dv NULL
57is returned.
58.Pp
59Currently the data reflects the JEP106BH data from September 2023.
60.Sh RETURN VALUES
61Upon successful completion, the
62.Fn libjedec_vendor_string
63function returns a pointer to a vendor's name.
64Otherwise
65.Dv NULL
66is returned to indicate that there is no mapping for the specified IDs.
