We will look at seq_printf() in a moment. But first, the definition of the
seq_file iterator is finished by creating a seq_operations structure with
the four functions we have just defined:

static struct seq_operations ct_seq_ops = {
static const struct seq_operations ct_seq_ops = {
.start = ct_seq_start,
.next = ct_seq_next,

Here, the call to seq_open() takes the seq_operations structure we created
before, and gets set up to iterate through the virtual file.
