Provided function is an analogue of print_hex_dump(). Implementing this function in seq_buf allows using for multiple purposes (e.g. for tracing) and therefore prevents from code duplication in every layer that uses seq_buf. print_hex_dump() is an essential part of logging data to dmesg. Adding similar capability for other purposes is beneficial to all users. Example usage: seq_buf_hex_dump(seq, "", DUMP_PREFIX_OFFSET, 16, 4, buf, ARRAY_SIZE(buf), true); Example output: 00000000: 00000000 ffffff10 ffffff32 ffff3210 ........2....2.. 00000010: ffff3210 83d00437 c0700000 00000000 .2..7.....p..... 00000020: 02010004 0000000f 0000000f 00004002 .............@.. 00000030: 00000fff 00000000 ........

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
