sg_nents(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💫 sg_nents(9) — the kernel API manual, but make it cute

Okay bestie, welcome to the sg_nents page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ (that's the manual name, in case you were wondering — yes, it's giving official).

🌸 NAME 🌸

sg_nents — returns the total count of entries in a scatterlist 🎀

Like, literally just counts them for you. That's the whole vibe.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int sg_nents (struct scatterlist *sg );

Your function signature, untouched, unbothered, iconic 💅

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • sg — the scatterlist 💖

That's it. One (1) argument. She's low maintenance like that.

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

So what does she do? sg_nents lets you find out how many entries are in sg — and the important part, bestie, is that it's taking into account chaining as well 🔥

No cap, that's the whole thing. If your scatterlist is chained together, she still counts the way she's supposed to. Fr fr. 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file ./lib/scatterlist.c — and the rest of the scatterlist cinematic universe 💀:

That's the whole friend group, and yes, they all match the original list exactly — I would never do you dirty like that 🙈

Ok tiny note to self: all of these are section 9 refs, so they're kernel-API pages. Go read them if you're curious, bestie 🧚

🎀 the sign-off 🎀
