hl_state_dump_print_syncs(9)

💅 hl_state_dump_print_syncs — bestie edition

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — it's hl_state_dump_print_syncs(9) and it's literally all about printing out your active sync objects. grab a lil snack, we're doing this 🍓

---

✨ NAME ✨

hl_state_dump_print_syncs — print active sync objects

like... that's the whole job. it prints the sync objects that are currently active. iconic behavior, no notes 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int hl_state_dump_print_syncs (struct hl_device *hdev , char **buf ,
size_t *size , size_t *offset );

yes bestie, that's the signature, copy it exactly — spaces and all. it returns an int, takes a struct hl_device * and then three pointer-y friends. 🫶

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• hdev — pointer to the device. the main character, honestly 👑
• buf — destination buffer double pointer, and it's meant to be used with hl_snprintf_resize. double pointer, so yes, it's giving pointer to a pointer energy — that's not a typo, that's the assignment 💅
• size — pointer to the size container. it holds the size. it points at the thing that holds the size. you get it 🎀
• offset — pointer to the offset container. same deal, but offset flavored ✨

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Returns 0 on success or error code on failure.

that's it. that's the description. short and sweet and lowkey perfect. so like — 0? slay, we ate. anything else? error code, and the failure vibe check did not pass 😭 keep that in mind before you assume things went fine, fr fr.
