seq_pad(9)

💅 seq_pad(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page you didn't know you needed 🎀

Ok so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is seq_pad(9), and honestly? She's a tiny little icon. No cap. Let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

seq_pad — writes padding spaces into a buffer 🫶

Like, she literally just adds spaces. That's the whole job. And she does it flawlessly. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void seq_pad (struct seq_file *m , char c );

Yes, that's the whole signature. Short. Sweet. Main character energy. 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• m — the seq_file that identifies the buffer where the data should be written 💖 Like, this is the destination bestie, the place the magic happens.
• c — the byte to append after the padding, but only if it's non-zero ⭐ So if you pass a zero in there, that's a no-op, she's not appending anything extra, periodt.

Mwah 💋 — this little page lives under ./fs, and it's stamped October 2026. That's the version and date, bestie, noted for the record. Now go pad those buffers and be iconic 🧚‍♀️💜
