STRUCT X86_INIT_PAGING(9)

💅 struct x86_init_paging(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the x86_init_paging(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — it's literally all about platform specific paging functions, and the vibe is very "one tiny struct, huge responsibilities." ✨

✨ NAME ✨

struct x86_init_paging — platform specific paging functions. periodt. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct x86_init_paging {
    void (*pagetable_init)(void);
 };

🌸 Members 🌸
