πŸ’… befs_bt_valarray πŸ’…

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual 🐧✨ and it's all about befs_bt_valarray, which lowkey just... hands you a pointer. that's it. that's the whole vibe. but it's an important pointer, so bestie, let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

befs_bt_valarray β€” Finds the start of value array in a node

like literally its whole job is finding where the value array starts πŸ”πŸ’–


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

fs64 * befs_bt_valarray (struct befs_btree_node *node );

that's the whole signature, no cap. one function, one arg, one fs64 * coming back at you 🌸


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • node β€” Pointer to the node structure to find the value array within πŸ’«

so you hand it a node, and it goes looking for the value array inside that node. that's the assignment. main character energy fr fr πŸ‘‘


⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

Returns a pointer to the start of the value array of the node pointed to by the node header 🌈

read that again if you need to, bestie β€” it's giving "one job, does it well". you give it a node, it gives you back a pointer to where the value array begins in that node's header situation. iconic behavior, honestly πŸ’…βœ¨

no drama, no side quests, no weird edge cases listed. just a pointer and a dream πŸ¦‹
