Subject: [PATCH v1 02/17] block, blksnap: header file of the module interface
Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2022 16:50:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221102155101.4550-3-sergei.shtepa@veeam.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221102155101.4550-1-sergei.shtepa@veeam.com>

The header file contains a set of declarations, structures and control
requests (ioctl) that allows to manage the module from the user space.
