💅 spum_wordalign_padlen(9) — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay so bestie, this is a little kernel API page from the Kernel API Manual, and it is lowkey serving "tiny alignment helper, main character energy" ✨. It is all about figuring out padding so the data after a field lands on a 4-byte boundary. No cap.

✨ NAME ✨

spum_wordalign_padlen — Given the length of a data field, determine the padding required to align the data following this field on a 4-byte boundary.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

u32 spum_wordalign_padlen (u32 data_size );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• data_size — length of data field in bytes 🫶. That is the one input, bestie.

💖 RETURN 💖

• length of status field padding, in bytes 💅. That is the answer it hands back.
