kvmppc_gsb_data_cap(9)

💅 NAME 💅

Hey bestie, welcome to the kvmppc_gsb_data_cap(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, that’s the manual name too, we’re folding it in all cute instead of copying the header line.

kvmppc_gsb_data_cap — the capacity of a buffer excluding the header. That’s the whole vibe. No cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

size_t kvmppc_gsb_data_cap (struct kvmppc_gs_buff *gsb );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• gsb — guest state buffer. That’s the one and only argument, bestie. Main character energy.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so this function is literally a one-liner and it ate: it returns the capacity of a buffer excluding the header. Periodt. No extra side quest, no secret lore — just that capacity number, minus the header.

Reminder bestie: the important phrase is “excluding the header.” Don’t forget the header is not part of this capacity count. Iykyk.
