💅 xdr_stream_zero 💅

okay so bestie, this is xdr_stream_zero(9) from the Kernel API Manual — section 9, periodt. it’s giving “zero out a portion of an xdr_stream,” and honestly? iconic. no cap. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

xdr_stream_zero — zero out a portion of an xdr_stream. that’s the whole assignment, and she ate. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

unsigned int xdr_stream_zero (struct xdr_stream *xdr , unsigned int offset , unsigned int length );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• xdr — an xdr_stream to zero out. hand over the stream, bestie. 💖
• offset — the starting point in the stream. it’s literally where the zeroing starts.
• length — the number of bytes to zero. that’s how much gets the zero treatment.
