SEQ_OPEN(9) The Linux VFS SEQ_OPEN(9)NAMEseq_open - initialize sequential file
SYNOPSIS
int seq_open(struct file * file, const struct seq_operations * op);
ARGUMENTS
file
file we initialize
op
method table describing the sequence
DESCRIPTIONseq_open sets file, associating it with a sequence described by op.
op->start sets the iterator up and returns the first element of
sequence. op->stop shuts it down. op->next returns the next element
of sequence. op->show prints element into the buffer. In case of error
->start and ->next return ERR_PTR(error). In the end of sequence they
return NULL. ->show returns 0 in case of success and negative number in
case of error. Returning SEQ_SKIP means “discard this element and move
on”.
