assign_entry(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 assign_entry(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for assign_entry — yes it's a man page, yes it's section 9, and yes we're gonna get through it together, it's literally so short you'll be done before your iced coffee melts 🧊✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

assign_entry — assign an entry waiter to the active block.

That's it. That's the whole name section. Iconic minimalism, no notes 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void assign_entry (struct vdo_waiter *waiter , void *context );

copy it exactly like that, spaces around the commas and all, don't @ me, the man page said so 🫶

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • waiter — the data_vio. that's your waiter right there, main character of the call 💅
  • context — the recovery journal block. that's the block the waiter is getting handed off to.

two args. two. we love a low-effort signature ngl 🤌

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does it actually do? it implements waiter_callback_fn. that's the whole description, fr fr — it's a callback function, and this page is just here to tell you that 🧚

like... that's genuinely all the manual gives us. no lore, no backstory, just "implements waiter_callback_fn" and a dip 😭 respect the mystery honestly.

bestie I'm not gonna make up extra behaviour for you — the page doesn't say more, so neither do I. the source file is right there if you want the real tea 👀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
