π seq_buf_do_printk β Kernel API Manual
okay so bestie, welcome to the seq_buf_do_printk(9) page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual β¨ this one is literally so cute and tiny, you're gonna eat it up.
πΈ NAME πΈ
seq_buf_do_printk β it does printk() on a seq_buf, line by line π no cap.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void seq_buf_do_printk (struct seq_buf *s , const char *lvl );
like, that's the whole vibe. two args, zero drama π«Ά
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
sβ theseq_bufdescriptor π this is your buffer, your main character.lvlβ theprintklevel π aka how loud we're being about it.
π DESCRIPTION π
So the way this works: it printk-s a multi-line sequential buffer, line by line π one line at a time, iconic behaviour honestly.
And before it does any of that, the function makes sure that the buffer in s is NUL-terminated and safe to read as a string π§β¨ so like, no reading past the end, no cursed garbage, we stay safe out here. periodt.
