πŸ’– libie_debugfs_log_size_read(9) πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, section 9, the kernel-dev section, we love her) and it's all about one tiny little function: libie_debugfs_log_size_read. And what does she do? She reads from the 'log_size' file. That's it. That's the whole vibe. ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

libie_debugfs_log_size_read β€” literally just reads from the 'log_size' file, no cap πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

ssize_t libie_debugfs_log_size_read (struct file *filp , char __user
       *buffer , size_t count , loff_t *ppos );

look at her go πŸ’… four args, one ssize_t return, main character energy fr fr.


✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • filp β€” the opened file πŸ—‚οΈ like, the file that's already been opened, bestie.
  • buffer β€” where to write the data for the user to read πŸ“ this is the spot where the data goes so the user can read it.
  • count β€” the size of the user's buffer πŸ“ literally how big their buffer is, that's the number.
  • ppos β€” file position offset πŸ“ the offset of the position in the file.
