💅 kvmppc_gsb_data(9) 💅

ok so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the manual name, and yes you will be reading it, because this little function is a whole vibe ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

kvmppc_gsb_data — literally just the elements of a guest state buffer. that's it. that's the whole thing. she's an icon, she's a one-liner, she's giving "i have one job and i ate" 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct kvmppc_gs_elem * kvmppc_gsb_data (struct kvmppc_gs_buff *gsb );

look at her. gorgeous. no cap 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• gsb — guest state buffer. that's the one and only thing you're handing her. she takes exactly one (1) friend and she's happy about it 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Returns a pointer to the first element of the buffer data. that's the whole description bestie, she's not gonna pad it out for you 😭 the return value is a pointer, it points at the first element, and the elements live in the buffer's data. periodt. 🔥
