ice_pkg_buf_reserve_section(9)

✨💅 ice_pkg_buf_reserve_section(9) 💅✨

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for ice_pkg_buf_reserve_section(9), and it’s giving “setup helper for package buffers” energy. let’s get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_pkg_buf_reserve_section — no extra description on the line, just the name, periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_pkg_buf_reserve_section (struct ice_buf_build *bld , u16 count
       );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• bld — pointer to pkg build (allocated by ice_pkg_buf_alloc) 🧚
• count — the number of sections to reserve 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Reserves one or more section table entries in a package buffer. This routine can be called multiple times as long as they are made before calling ice_pkg_buf_alloc_section. Once ice_pkg_buf_alloc_section is called once, the number of sections that can be allocated will not be able to be increased; not using all reserved sections is fine, but this will result in some wasted space in the buffer. 😭✨

💀 NOTE 💀

🚨 all package contents must be in Little Endian form.
