kvmppc_gse_total_len(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this page is kvmppc_gse_total_len(9) from the Kernel API Manual — and it’s literally about the total length of a guest state element. Tiny helper, main character energy. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

u16 kvmppc_gse_total_len (const struct kvmppc_gs_elem *gse );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• gse — the guest state element. That’s the thing you’re asking about, bestie. 🫶

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

It returns the length of the data plus the ID and size header. So yeah — data, ID, size header, all together in one total-length moment. That’s the whole vibe. 💖
