bio_integrity_advance(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 bio_integrity_advance 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and today's main character is bio_integrity_advance — she's giving "quiet little helper function that keeps your integrity vector from falling behind" and honestly? we stan 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

bio_integrity_advance — advance the integrity vector, that's the whole vibe 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void bio_integrity_advance (struct bio *bio , unsigned int bytes_done );

like, that's the whole signature. no return value, she just does the thing and leaves. periodt ✨

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • bio — the bio whose integrity vector we're updating. she's the one getting her vector nudged forward, okay? 🫶
  • bytes_done — the number of data bytes that have been completed. yes, data bytes, not integrity bytes — the function does that math for you, don't worry your pretty little head 😌

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's what she does, and it's lowkey iconic:

this function calculates how many integrity bytes the number of completed data bytes corresponds to, and then advances the integrity vector accordingly. that's it. that's the whole function. she converts your data-byte progress into integrity-byte progress and slides the vector forward by that much 🔥

no cap, it's a converter and a mover. multitasking queen 👑
