get_pad_len(9)

💅 get_pad_len(9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

okay so we are in the Kernel API Manual, and this page is get_pad_len(9). it is giving “tiny utility, big UBIFS energy,” and honestly? we love a focused icon. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

get_pad_len — return the length of padding in a buffer. periodt. that is the whole assignment, and it ate. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here is the signature, bestie — copied exactly, no cap:

int get_pad_len (const struct ubifs_info *c , uint8_t *buf , int len );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• c — UBIFS file-system description object. yes, the UBIFS file-system description object itself. main character energy for the filesystem lore. 🦋
• buf — buffer. literally the buffer. no notes. 💅
• len — length of buffer. the length of that buffer, bestie. that’s the vibe. 🌸
