πŸ’… async_callback_t(9) β€” the Kernel API Manual moment

ok so bestie, sit down, because we're looking at async_callback_t(9) from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? she's short, she's sweet, she's a type definition, and she's about to be your new fave. ✨


πŸŽ€ NAME

async_callback_t β€” literally just a type definition for an asynchronous callback function. that's it. that's the whole gig. no cap. πŸ’–


🌸 SYNOPSIS

void async_callback_t (void *cb_arg );

yes queen, one argument, one pointer, zero drama. πŸ¦‹


⭐ ARGUMENTS

  • cb_arg β€” the argument that gets passed to the callback function. that's the little package of you that travels into the callback. 🫢

🧚 DESCRIPTION

so here's the vibe check πŸ‘‘: this type defines a function pointer for an asynchronous callback. the callback function takes a single argument, and that argument is a pointer to user-defined data β€” aka cb_arg, aka the little bag of stuff you're handing over. literally one parameter, no more, no less. iconic behaviour honestly. πŸ’…

lowkey the whole point is that you decide what cb_arg points at. the type just says "a pointer", and your data does the talking. πŸ“

πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO

okay this is the part where she name-drops her entire friend group, and honestly? the friend group is extensive. every single one of these, no skips: πŸ’œ

like, she knows everyone. main character energy fr fr. 🌈
