okay so this page is straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's about kfifo_skip_count 💅 yes bestie, the whole page is literally just "skip output data" — that's the NAME, that's the vibe, that's the whole assignment. short and iconic, no notes 🎀

kfifo_skip_count (fifo , count );

that's it. two arguments, one little call, and the data goes bye-bye 🦋

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

like, forty besties. every single one got an invite, nobody's left on read 💀💜

fr fr though — kfifo_skip_count is the "skip output data" girlie. that's the entire documented personality. no hidden lore, no secret flags, just skip ✨
