The Linux Manuals (man pages) document is an important part of Linux documents. Linux Manuals are organized as several sections. Each section has a group of commands for a specific area in Linux usage, administration or development.

Description Remaps the physical address phys through the next available store queue address of…
sq_flush_range – Flush (prefetch) a specific SQ range Synopsis void sq_flush_range(unsigned long start, unsigned int len); Arguments start the store queue address to start flushing from len the length to flush Description Flushes the store queue cache from start to start + len in a linear fashion.

sprintf – Format a string and place it in a buffer Synopsis int sprintf(char *buf, const char *fmt, …); Arguments buf The buffer to place the result into fmt The format string to use … Arguments for the format string Description The function returns the number of characters written into buf. Use snprintf or scnprintf…
splice_to_pipe – fill passed data into a pipe Synopsis ssize_t splice_to_pipe(struct pipe_inode_info * pipe, struct splice_pipe_desc * spd); Arguments pipe pipe to fill spd data to fill Description spd contains a map of pages and len/offset tuples, along with the struct pipe_buf_operations associated with these pages. This function will link that data to the pipe. Copyright
splice_from_pipe_next – wait for some data to splice from Synopsis int splice_from_pipe_next(struct pipe_inode_info *pipe, struct splice_desc *sd); Arguments pipe pipe to splice from sd information about the splice operation Description This function will wait for some data and return a positive value (one) if pipe buffers are available. It will return zero or -errno if…
splice_from_pipe_feed – feed available data from a pipe to a file Synopsis int splice_from_pipe_feed(struct pipe_inode_info *pipe, struct splice_desc *sd, splice_actor *actor); Arguments pipe pipe to splice from sd information to actor actor handler that splices the data Description This function loops over the pipe and calls actor to do the actual moving of a single…
splice_from_pipe_end – finish splicing from pipe Synopsis void splice_from_pipe_end(struct pipe_inode_info *pipe, struct splice_desc *sd); Arguments pipe pipe to splice from sd information about the splice operation Description This function will wake up pipe writers if necessary. It should be called after a loop containing splice_from_pipe_next and splice_from_pipe_feed. Copyright
splice_from_pipe_begin – start splicing from pipe Synopsis void splice_from_pipe_begin(struct splice_desc *sd); Arguments sd information about the splice operation Description This function should be called before a loop containing splice_from_pipe_next and splice_from_pipe_feed to initialize the necessary fields of sd. Copyright
splice_from_pipe – splice data from a pipe to a file Synopsis ssize_t splice_from_pipe(struct pipe_inode_info * pipe, struct file * out, loff_t * ppos, size_t len, unsigned int flags, splice_actor * actor); Arguments pipe pipe to splice from out file to splice to ppos position in out len how many bytes to splice flags splice modifier flags actor handler that splices the data Description See __splice_from_pipe….
splice_direct_to_actor – splices data directly between two non-pipes Synopsis ssize_t splice_direct_to_actor(struct file * in, struct splice_desc * sd, splice_direct_actor * actor); Arguments in file to splice from sd actor information on where to splice to actor handles the data splicing Description This is a special case helper to splice directly between two points, without requiring an explicit pipe. Internally an allocated…
spi_schedule_dv_device – schedule domain validation to occur on the device Synopsis void spi_schedule_dv_device(struct scsi_device *sdev); Arguments sdev The device to validate Description Identical to spi_dv_device above, except that the DV will be scheduled to occur in a workqueue later. All memory allocations are atomic, so may be called from any context including those holding SCSI…
spi_populate_tag_msg – place a tag message in a buffer Synopsis int spi_populate_tag_msg(unsigned char *msg, struct scsi_cmnd *cmd); Arguments msg pointer to the area to place the tag cmd pointer to the scsi command for the tag Notes designed to create the correct type of tag message for the particular request. Returns the size of the…
spi_display_xfer_agreement – Print the current target transfer agreement Synopsis void spi_display_xfer_agreement(struct scsi_target *starget); Arguments starget The target for which to display the agreement Description Each SPI port is required to maintain a transfer agreement for each other port on the bus. This function prints a one-line summary of the current agreement; more detailed information is…
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions – Call memory_present for each active range Synopsis void sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions(int nid); Arguments nid The node to call memory_present for. If MAX_NUMNODES, all nodes will be used. Description If an architecture guarantees that all ranges registered contain no holes and may be freed, this function may be used instead of calling memory_present manually. Copyright
spans_boundary – Check a packet can be ISA DMA’d Synopsis int spans_boundary(struct sk_buff *skb); Arguments skb The buffer to check Description Returns true if the buffer cross a DMA boundary on a PC. The poor thing can only DMA within a 64K block not across the edges of it. Author Alan Cox <alan [at] lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk>…
