9       bool kmsg_dump_get_buffer(struct kmsg_dumper * dumper, bool syslog,
10                                 char * buf, size_t size, size_t * len);

18
19       buf
20           buffer to copy the line to

DESCRIPTION

29       Start at the end of the kmsg buffer and fill the provided buffer with
30       as many of the the *youngest* kmsg records that fit into it. If the
31       buffer is large enough, all available kmsg records will be copied with
32       a single call.
33
34       Consecutive calls will fill the buffer with the next block of available
35       older records, not including the earlier retrieved ones.
36
37       A return value of FALSE indicates that there are no more records to
38       read.
