STRUCT LIST_BUFFER(9)

💅 struct list_buffer(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the struct list_buffer(9) page — yes that's the manual name, it's giving "one tiny element in a big port device fifo buffer list" energy and honestly? iconic. this is from the Kernel API Manual and we're gonna get through it together, no cap 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct list_buffer — literally just an element for a port device fifo buffer list. that's the whole vibe. one element. in a list. for a fifo buffer. for a port device. slay 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the struct in all its glory, copied exactly because we do not mess with code, periodt:

struct list_buffer {
    struct list_head link;
    const unsigned char *head;
    const unsigned char *tail;
    unsigned long dbg_number;
    unsigned char data[];
};

look at her. five members. link, head, tail, dbg_number, and that flexible array data[] doing main character energy at the end 🔥

---

🎀 Members 🎀

so the original page has a Members section and… it's empty bestie 😭 like genuinely nothing listed under it. so there's nothing extra for me to tell you here — the section exists, it's just sitting there being mysterious. iykyk 🙈
