💖 ipc_init_proc_interface(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the ipc_init_proc_interface(9) page, and it's giving kernel plumbing but make it cute. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ipc_init_proc_interface creates a proc interface for sysipc types using a seq_file interface. That's the whole flex, no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ipc_init_proc_interface (const char *path , const char *header ,
       int ids , int (*show)(struct seq_file *, void *) );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• path — path in procfs. literally where it lives, bestie. 📁
• header — banner to be printed at the beginning of the file. yes, the little intro moment. 🎀
• ids — ipc id table to iterate. gotta loop through the ids. 🔁
• show — show routine. the main character that does the showing. 👀
