binder_alloc...nt_allocated(9)
π binder_alloc_print_allocated β the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition β¨
okay so picture this: you're deep in the Kernel API Manual and the page name got squished down to binder_alloc...nt_allocated(9) because the header ran out of room π but the actual function we're stanning today is binder_alloc_print_allocated, and she is literally the group-chat screenshotter of the binder world. let's get into it π
β¨ NAME β¨
binder_alloc_print_allocated β print buffer info π¨οΈπ
like, that's it, that's the whole job. she prints the buffer info. iconic behaviour, no notes.

she returns void btw β no return value, no drama, she just does the thing and dips π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
mβ theseq_filefor output viaseq_printf. this is the little journal she writes into, bestie πβ¨allocβ thebinder_allocfor this proc. it's the state she's snooping through π
π DESCRIPTION π
so here's the vibe: she prints information about every single buffer associated with the binder_alloc state, and dumps it all out to the given seq_file. every buffer. not some. not a summary. every one. she does not skip, she does not gatekeep π
