SKIP(9)

💅 SKIP(9) 🦋

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for SKIP(9)—manual name folded in near the top like a lil' name tag, no dusty copied header line. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

SKIP — that's the name, periodt. The original dash had no description after it, so we're not inventing one. 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

SKIP (statement , fmt , ... );

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

• statement — the statement to run after reporting SKIP. Do the thing after the skip report, bestie. 🫶
• fmt — format string. The format-y string, iconic. ✨
• ... — optional arguments. Extra optional args, periodt. 🌸

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

SKIP(statement, fmt, ...);

This forces a "pass" after reporting why something is being skipped, and then it runs statement—which is usually return or goto skip. No cap, that's the whole move. ✅
