✨ __evlist__for_each_entry(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 — this little baby lives in section 9 and her whole entire job is looping over evsels, no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

__evlist__for_each_entry — iterate thru all the evsels 🦋

like literally, that's the vibe. she iterates. thru all the evsels. every single one. periodt.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

__evlist__for_each_entry (list , evsel );

yeah that's it. that's the whole thing. lowkey iconic how short it is 💅 (and yes, the spacing is exactly like that, don't @ me, I don't make the rules)

---

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

• list — a list_head instance to iterate 🧚 this is the thing you're walkin' through, bestie. your starting point. your main character list.
• evsel — struct evsel iterator 🌈 this is the one that goes around the loop, picking up each evsel as it goes. she's the traveler. she's the iterator. iykyk.
