ibmvmc_poll(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to ibmvmc_poll(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this page is literally the manual entry for ibmvmc_poll — Poll. That's the whole name vibe, and we're keeping it cute and exact.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature goes like this, and yes, copy it exactly because we do not play with source code in this group chat 😤:

unsigned int ibmvmc_poll (struct file *file , poll_table *wait );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

okay, the cast of characters is tiny but iconic:

• file — file struct 🫶 that's it, that's the description.
• wait — Poll Table ✨ capitalize it like the original says, bestie.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

the return sitch is literally:

• poll.h return values 💅

no extra lore, no made-up numbers — just poll.h return values. periodt.
