From f84398068d9c2babe41500504ef247ae07081857 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 14:48:36 +0200 Subject: vfs: seq_file: add helpers for data filling Add two helpers that allow access to the seq_file's own buffer, but hide the internal details of seq_files. This allows easier implementation of special purpose filling functions. It also cleans up some existing functions which duplicated the seq_file logic. Make these inline functions in seq_file.h, as suggested by Al.
