πΈ NAME πΈ
libie_debugfs_log_size_read β literally just reads from the 'log_size' file, no cap π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
ssize_t libie_debugfs_log_size_read (struct file *filp , char __user
*buffer , size_t count , loff_t *ppos );
look at her go π
four args, one ssize_t return, main character energy fr fr.
β¨ ARGUMENTS β¨
