__media_entity_next_link(9)

💅 __media_entity_next_link(9) — Kernel API Manual energy

ok so bestie, welcome to the glow-up edition of __media_entity_next_link(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil helper that walks you through an entity's links one at a time, no cap 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

__media_entity_next_link — literally just iterating through a &media_entity's links, that's the whole vibe 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct media_link * __media_entity_next_link (struct media_entity
*entity , struct media_link *link , unsigned long link_type );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• entity — pointer to the media_entity 👑 like, the main character here
• link — pointer to a media_link that holds the iterated values 🔁 she's your little cursor babe
• link_type — one of the MEDIA_LNK_FL_LINK_TYPE flags 🚩 pick your flavour

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Return the next link against an entity matching a specific link type. the way that this just *works*… it lets you iterate through an entity's links whilst guaranteeing all of the returned links are of the given type 🙌 so no impostor links sneaking into your loop, periodt 💅
