trace_seq_putc(9)

🎀 trace_seq_putc(9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for trace_seq_putc(9), and it is literally all about one tiny character doing its main character thing. no cap 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

trace_seq_putc — trace sequence printing of simple character. that’s the whole vibe: trace sequence printing, but make it a simple character 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void trace_seq_putc (struct trace_seq *s , unsigned char c );

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• s — the trace sequence descriptor. it’s giving “special buffer energy” 💖
• c — the simple character to record. just one lil character, slay 🌟

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the tracer may use either the sequence operations or its own copy to user routines. that’s the setup, bestie.

this function records a simple character into a special buffer (s) for later retrieval by a sequencer or other mechanism. literally that’s it: simple character in, special buffer holding it for later, no extra lore 🔥
