event_log_size_show(9)

💅 event_log_size_show(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, we're deep in the kernel API manual section (9, iykyk) and this page is all about event_log_size_show. it's giving "tiny function, whole lotta lore." let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

event_log_size_show — literally just: event log size. that's the whole vibe. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ssize_t event_log_size_show (struct device *cdev , struct
device_attribute *attr , char *buf );

no cap, it returns a ssize_t and takes three args. keep reading, i promise it's short 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cdev — a pointer to the embedded class device. she's pointing at her device, as one does 💅
• attr — the device attribute. and babes, it's unused. don't worry about her, she's just here for the vibes 🙈
• buf — the buffer that gets returned. this is the actual output slot, main character energy 👑

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

it's a sysfs read shost attribute. that's it, that's the whole description. short and iconic, we respect it 🌈

ngl the original page keeps it to one line, so i'm not gonna invent extra behaviour for you. what it says is what it does, periodt ✨
