splice_from_pipe_next(9)

okay bestie, this is splice_from_pipe_next(9) from the Kernel API Manual ✨ lowkey iconic kernel internals, highkey useful.

💖 NAME 💖

splice_from_pipe_next — wait for some data to splice from 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int splice_from_pipe_next (struct pipe_inode_info *pipe , struct splice_desc *sd );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pipe — pipe to splice from 💧
• sd — information about the splice operation 📝

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the vibe is: this function will wait for some data, and it returns a positive value (one) if pipe buffers are available. No cap.

It will return zero or -errno if no more data needs to be spliced. That's the whole return-value story, bestie — treat it like sacred text 💅.

bestie, this is kernel code — the exact return values matter, fr fr 🔥
