DVB_RINGBUFFER_SKIP(9)

💅 DVB_RINGBUFFER_SKIP(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's about DVB_RINGBUFFER_SKIP — the little function that just... nudges your read pointer forward. no drama, no cap, it's giving "one job and she does it" energy ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

DVB_RINGBUFFER_SKIP — advance the read ptr by @num bytes 💫

like literally that's it. she advances. she skips. she moves the read pointer forward by however many bytes you tell her. main character behavior honestly 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

DVB_RINGBUFFER_SKIP (rbuf , num );

yes bestie, that's the whole vibe. two args, no fuss 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• rbuf — pointer to struct dvb_ringbuffer 💖 this is the ring buffer you're working with, she's the whole moment
• num — number of bytes to advance 🌈 exactly how far forward the read pointer should go, no more no less

ngl, the only thing this function does is move the read pointer forward by num bytes on the struct dvb_ringbuffer you handed it. that's the entire plot. and honestly? she ate 💅
