xdr_buf_pages_zero(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

xdr_buf_pages_zero — and that's it, bestie. That's the whole description. The manpage literally left it blank, no cap. We have the function name and nothing else, so I'm not gonna sit here and invent lore for it. It's giving "mystery icon" energy and honestly? Respect. 🎭

So real quick, before we go any further: this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9. That's your map pin. 📍

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void xdr_buf_pages_zero (const struct xdr_buf *buf , unsigned int pgbase
, unsigned int len );

Look at that signature. void return, so it's not handing anything back to you — it's just doing the thing. Three args, all lined up. Slay. 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • buf — an xdr_buf. That's the struct you're working on. Yes it's const struct xdr_buf * in the synopsis, so read it, don't go wild rewriting the pointer.
  • pgbase — the beginning offset. Where the action starts. 🌸
  • len — the length. How much of it we're dealing with. 📏

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Okay so this is the part where the page absolutely ate. The kernel file is ./net/sunrpc/xdr.c, and the whole XDR friend group is tagged below — every single one, no skips, iykyk:

Heads up, bestie: the NAME section gave us zero description, so don't go reading behaviour into this page that isn't written here. The other pages in that list are where the actual tea lives. 💀

And that's the whole page, fr fr. Big kiss to the ./net/sunrpc source, dated October 2026 — and to xdr_buf_pages_zero(9) itself, the icon of the Kernel API Manual. 💖✨👑
