kfifo_skip(9)

✨ kfifo_skip(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for kfifo_skip — she's a kernel function, she's iconic, and honestly? she does exactly one thing and she does it flawlessly 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

kfifo_skip — skip output data 🫶

like. literally just. skip the output data. that's the whole vibe.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

kfifo_skip (fifo );

no cap, that's the entire signature. one argument. she's low maintenance, she's unbothered, she's giving minimalist main character energy ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• fifo — address of the fifo to be used 💖

(yes that's it. one argument. the fifo. the address of it. we love a simple queen 👑)
