seq_buf_commit(9)

✨ seq_buf_commit(9) ✨

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🫶 this page is about committing data to a seq_buf, and yes it's giving very specific but very useful 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

seq_buf_commit — commit data to the buffer 💖

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

void seq_buf_commit (struct seq_buf *s , int num );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• s — the seq_buf handle. This is the buffer bestie you're working with.
• num — the number of bytes to commit. Slay, that's the count.

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So here's the vibe: you're committing num bytes of data written to a buffer that you previously acquired by seq_buf_get_buf. That's it. That's the whole job. ✨

And if you need to signal an error condition, or that the data didn't fit in the available space, pass a negative num value. Negative num is literally the "something went wrong / it didn't fit" move 😭 no cap.
