kvmppc_gse_total_size(9)

💖 kvmppc_gse_total_size 💖

okay bestie, buckle up, we're reading a page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a short one, but it's a cutie.

---

✨ NAME ✨

kvmppc_gse_total_size — the space needed for a given data length, no cap 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u16 kvmppc_gse_total_size (u16 size );

like literally that's the whole call 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• size — your data length, that's it, that's the arg 🫶

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does it do? it returns size plus the space needed for the ID and size header.

that's the whole vibe. length in, length-plus-header out. iconic, lowkey, no notes ✨
