EXPECT_GE(9)

🎀 EXPECT_GE(9) 🎀

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel API, we love a niche queen 👑) and this page is short but she is iconic. Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

EXPECT_GE — and that's literally it. No description, no tagline, no nothing. The NAME section is giving mysterious main character energy 💅 (yes, fr, the original page leaves the description blank — not me being lazy, that's just the page 🙈).

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

EXPECT_GE (expected , seen );

that's the whole summoning ritual, no cap ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• expected — the expected value. the one you think should happen 💭
• seen — the measured value. the one you actually saw 👀

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

here's the tea, and it's literally one line:

EXPECT_GE(expected, measured): expected >= measured

so EXPECT_GE checks that expected is greater than or equal to the measured thing. that's it. that's the whole vibe check 🧚

tiny heads-up bestie: the ARGUMENTS section calls the second one seen, but the description calls it measured. yes, the naming is a little unhinged — I'm just telling you exactly what the page says, iykyk 💀
