prb_rec_init_wr(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this is prb_rec_init_wr from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel devs only, iykyk) — and what it does is literally initialize a buffer for writing records 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void prb_rec_init_wr (struct printk_record *r , unsigned int
text_buf_size );

that's the whole signature bestie, no cap 🫶

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• r — the record you're initializing. yeah. that one. the record. it's getting initialized 🎀
• text_buf_size — the needed text buffer size. like, how big your text buffer needs to be. that's the vibe check on your buffer size fr fr ✨

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

not me dropping the whole friend group of related symbols 😭 go check these out:

• Kernel file ./kernel/printk/printk_ringbuffer.h DEFINE_PRINTKRB(9)
• prb_rec_init_rd(9)
• prb_for_each_record(9)
• prb_for_each_info(9)

like they're all in the same ./kernel/printk friend group, main character energy honestly 👑

💀 reminder bestie: prb_rec_init_wr is the write side. prb_rec_init_rd(9) is the read side. do not mix them up, that's the whole plot twist 🙈

and that's the page!! 🌈 this iconic little moment lives in the ./kernel/printk source, dated October 2026, and it goes by prb_rec_init_wr(9) — slay, periodt, go initialize some records 💜🧚⭐
