TWALK(3P)

💖 TWALK(3P) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to TWALK(3P) — straight out of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. this is the little corner of the man pages where we talk about walking a binary search tree, and honestly? iconic behavior. 🌳✨

🌸 PROLOG 🌸

so like, before we even get into it — this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. the Linux implementation of this interface may differ, so if you're on Linux you gotta consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the deets on Linux behavior. OR — and hear me out — the interface might just not be implemented on Linux at all. not to be dramatic but that's a real possibility. 💀

✨ NAME ✨

twalk — traverse a binary search tree 🦋

like. that's the whole job. she walks the tree. main character energy fr.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <search.h>

void twalk(const void *root,
    void (*action)(const void *, VISIT, int ));

yes the spacing is exactly like that, don't come for me, I don't make the rules. 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

bestie. the entire description is: Refer to tdelete().

that's it. that's the vibe. she's giving mysterious, she's giving "go read your other man page", she's giving lowkey iconic for saying so little. 😭 so yeah — go check out tdelete(). 🫶
