FUNCTION::FP_MUL(3stap)
π FUNCTION::FP_MUL π
okay bestie, welcome to the floating point processing corner of the SystemTap tapset reference (that's the 3stap manual, iykyk) β and today's main character is fp_mul. yes it multiplies. yes that's the whole vibe. no cap, sometimes the icon is just built different and does exactly one thing flawlessly π
β¨ NAME β¨
function::fp_mul β multiplication between floating points π«Ά
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
fp_mul:long(mul1:long,mul2:long)
that's it. two longs walk in, one long walks out, math happens. iconic. π
π ARGUMENTS π
mul1β the 64 bit floating point multiplicand. she's the one getting multiplied, the moment, the star of the equation βmul2β the 64 bit floating point multiplier. the one doing the multiplying, lowkey carrying the whole operation πͺ
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
result is multiplicand times multiplier. periodt. that's the description. mul1 βοΈ mul2 = the whole point of this function, and honestly? obsessed π
heads up bestie: these are 64 bit floating point values being passed around as long, so don't come at it expecting cute little decimals in the signature β it's giving raw bits, not aesthetics π
