relay_file_read_start_pos(9)

💖 relay_file_read_start_pos(9) 💖

okay so bestie, this little icon is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's here to help you find the first byte that's actually ready to read. no cap. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

relay_file_read_start_pos — find the first available byte to read

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

size_t relay_file_read_start_pos (struct rchan_buf *buf );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• buf — relay channel buffer

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so picture this: if read_pos is chillin' in the middle of padding, this function returns the position of the first byte that's actually available. otherwise? it just returns the original value. that's it, that's the whole vibe. ✨
