nfp_cpp_area_fill(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 nfp_cpp_area_fill(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

Okay so like, welcome to the glow-up zone ✨ This one lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it's genuinely such a vibe: it's a fill function. That's it. That's the whole personality. And honestly? Iconic. Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

nfp_cpp_area_fill — fill a CPP area with a value 💖

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int nfp_cpp_area_fill (struct nfp_cpp_area *area , unsigned long offset
, u32 value , size_t length );

No cap, that's the whole signature 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • area — the CPP area, like the main character of this whole operation 💅
  • offset — where you're starting from, offset into the CPP area 🎯
  • value — the value you're filling with, the whole point fr fr 💜
  • length — how long the stretch of area you're filling is 📏

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So basically: fill the indicated area with the given value. That's it. That's the tea 🍓

Like, it's giving "paint bucket tool" energy. You point at a spot, you say what to pour in, you say how much, and the area gets filled. Slay 🌈

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Returns the length of io, or -ERRNO 😭

(So like, if it works you get your length back, and if it's a flop you get a negative errno situation. Standard.)
