ice_find_buf_table(9)

💅 ice_find_buf_table — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: it's a (9) kernel API page, it lives in the Kernel API Manual, and the whole entire function name is ice_find_buf_table. That's the vibe. That's the page. Slay.

✨ NAME ✨

ice_find_buf_table —

so like… the original page literally has nothing after that dash 💀. No one-liner, no little summary, just the name and a whole lot of silence. Respect the mystery, I guess? The description section is where the actual tea gets spilled, so keep scrolling 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct ice_buf_table * ice_find_buf_table (struct ice_seg *ice_seg );

that's it, that's the whole signature. returns a struct ice_buf_table *, takes a struct ice_seg *. no cap. ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ice_seg — pointer to the ice segment 🧊 like, a pointer, to the ice segment. that's the entire argument, she's low-key simple and we love that for her

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does she do? she returns the address of the buffer table within the ice segment. that's the whole thing. it's giving "short and iconic," it's giving "does exactly one job and does it flawlessly." 👑

you hand her ice_seg — your pointer to the ice segment — and she gives you back the address of the buffer table inside it. one in, one out, no drama, no side quests. main character energy but make it a getter. 💅

ngl bestie, if you got here looking for a big dramatic description — she's a one-line diva and she ate. read the function, ship the function. periodt. 💅
