console_try_replay_all(9)

✨ console_try_replay_all — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the console_try_replay_all(9) page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual. it's short, it's sweet, and it's lowkey doing a very specific lil job. let's get into it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

console_try_replay_all — try to replay the kernel log on the consoles. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void console_try_replay_all (void );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• void — no arguments, bestie. none. zero. it takes nothing and it wants nothing 🙈

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea ☕ — console_try_replay_all tries to obtain the lock on the console subsystem, and then it replays all the available records sitting in the printk buffer onto the consoles. like a little DJ set for your kernel log 🎧🔥

Does nothing if the lock is not obtained. no lock, no replay, no drama — it just quietly minds its business and bounces. periodt.

---

🌈 CONTEXT 🌈

Any, except for NMI. (so like… anywhere, just not there 💀)
