This procedural macro attribute provides a simple way to declare
a trait with a set of operations that later users can partially
implement, providing compile-time `HAS_*` boolean associated
constants that indicate whether a particular operation was overridden.
This is useful as the Rust counterpart to structs like
`file_operations` where some pointers may be `NULL`, indicating
an operation is not provided.
For instance:
#[vtable]
trait Operations {
fn read(...) -> Result<usize> {
Err(EINVAL)
}
fn write(...) -> Result<usize> {
Err(EINVAL)
}
}
#[vtable]
impl Operations for S {
fn read(...) -> Result<usize> {
...
}
}
assert_eq!(<S as Operations>::HAS_READ, true);
assert_eq!(<S as Operations>::HAS_WRITE, false);

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.
