kvmppc_gsb_put(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay bestie, welcome to the kvmppc_gsb_put(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — this one is all about how to allocate space in a guest state buffer. Slay. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void * kvmppc_gsb_put (struct kvmppc_gs_buff *gsb , size_t size );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• gsb — the buffer you're allocating inside, periodt.
• size — the amount of space to allocate, literally.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

It returns a pointer to the amount of space requested within the buffer, and it increments the count of elements in the buffer. Cute, useful, iconic. 🫶

But babes, listen: it does not check if there is enough space in the buffer. No capacity vibe check, no safety net. Handle that part yourself. 💀
