ring_buffer_reset(9)

🎀 ring_buffer_reset(9) 🎀

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving “reset a ring buffer” in the most direct way possible, bestie. no cap, the whole page is basically one function, one argument, and a truly iconic little SEE ALSO squad. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ring_buffer_reset — reset a ring buffer. periodt. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ring_buffer_reset (struct trace_buffer *buffer );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• buffer — the ring buffer where we're resetting all cpu buffers, bestie. that's the whole assignment. 🫶
