hdm_remove_padding(9)

💅 hdm_remove_padding 💅

okay so this is hdm_remove_padding(9) from the Kernel API Manual and bestie it is literally the little function that strips the padding bytes, no cap 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

hdm_remove_padding — remove padding bytes 🧹✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int hdm_remove_padding (struct most_dev *mdev , int channel , struct mbo
*mbo );

like, that's the whole signature, copy it exactly please, spacing and all, because the kernel is not the vibe-check-passing type 🙈

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• mdev — the most device 💖 (yes, that's what it is, "most device", we love a literal queen)
• channel — the channel ID 🔥
• mbo — the buffer object 🎀

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so what this does: it takes the INIC hardware specific padding bytes off a streaming channel's buffer. that's it. that's the whole job. it's giving "small but essential" main character energy ✨

like, the INIC hardware adds its own special padding bytes (iconic of it, honestly) and this function is the one that removes them from a streaming channel's buffer. no leftovers, periodt 💅
