kvmppc_gsb_for_each_elem(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the kvmppc_gsb_for_each_elem(9) page from the Kernel API Manual. this is the little iteration moment where you loop over elements in a buffer, and honestly? it's giving "for each but make it kernel." 💅

💖 NAME 💖

kvmppc_gsb_for_each_elem — iterate over the elements in a buffer. that's it, that's the vibe. you're iterating, bestie. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the call exactly as it appears, no edits, no cap:

kvmppc_gsb_for_each_elem (i , pos , gsb , rem );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

the args are lining up like a group chat, and every one of them has a job:

• i — loop counter. literally the loop counter, keeping track of the iteration.
• pos — set to current element. it gets set to the element you're currently on.
• gsb — guest state buffer. this is the guest state buffer, the main character of the buffer situation.
• rem — initialized to buffer capacity, holds bytes currently remaining in stream. you initialize it to the buffer capacity, and it holds the bytes that are currently remaining in the stream.
