seq_commit(9)

💅 seq_commit(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to seq_commit(9) from the Kernel API Manual — it's giving “commit data to the buffer” realness, and honestly? iconic. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

seq_commit — commit data to the buffer. periodt.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void seq_commit (struct seq_file *m , int num );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• m — the seq_file handle. main character energy, fr fr.
• num — the number of bytes to commit. yes bestie, bytes. 🔥

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Commit num bytes of data written to a buffer previously acquired by seq_buf_get. 💫

To signal an error condition, or that the data didn't fit in the available space, pass a negative num value. 🚩

bestie, that negative num is the “something's wrong / it didn't fit” signal — keep that in mind, okay? 🫶
