STRUCT GCOV_ITERATOR(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, this is struct gcov_iterator(9) from the Kernel API Manual — and it literally specifies current file position in logical records. the way that this struct is out here defining exactly where you are in the file? obsessed, no cap 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the whole struct is giving very “here’s my shape, memorize her” energy:

struct gcov_iterator {
    struct gcov_info *info;
    size_t size;
    loff_t pos;
    char buffer[];
};

🎀 Members 🎀

• info — associated profiling data. the profiling-data bestie in question ✨
• size — size of buffer. how big the buffer is, periodt 🫶
• pos — current position in file. your current spot in the file, lowkey main character energy 💅
• buffer — buffer containing file data. a buffer that contains the file data, literally right there 🦋
