Annotated Snippet
================
splice and pipes
================
splice API
==========
splice is a method for moving blocks of data around inside the kernel,
without continually transferring them between the kernel and user space.
.. kernel-doc:: fs/splice.c
pipes API
=========
Pipe interfaces are all for in-kernel (builtin image) use. They are not
exported for use by modules.
.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h

- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
