batadv_smallest_signed_int(9)

💅 batadv_smallest_signed_int(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

Okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, you've got some integer type, and you need the smallest signed integer it can hold — two's complement style, sized with the sizeof x. That's this function. That's the whole vibe. It's giving "tiny but mighty" ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_smallest_signed_int — returns the smallest signed integer in two's complement with the sizeof x. Yep, that's the entire personality 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

batadv_smallest_signed_int (x );

That's it. One argument, no drama 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• x — type of integer 👑 (it's a type, not a value — heads up, that's the whole trick)

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

The smallest signed integer of type 💖 Like, the most negative one your type can hold. Lowkey iconic.
