bnx2x_mcast_get_next_bin(9)

💅 bnx2x_mcast_get_next_bin(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, bestie

Okay so real talk, this one is a lil function from the kernel API manual (section 9, the "c functions" section, iykyk) and it's genuinely so simple it's giving main character energy. Let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2x_mcast_get_next_bin — the way this just gets the next set bin (index) like it's nothing. iconic behaviour fr fr 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int bnx2x_mcast_get_next_bin (struct bnx2x_mcast_obj *o , int last );

That's it. That's the whole vibe check. 💖

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• o — the multicast object info, aka the whole situation you're digging through 🗂️
• last — the index to start looking from, and yes bestie it's including that index, so don't come for me when last itself gets checked 💅

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So basically: it returns the next found (set) bin, or a negative value if none is found. Periodt. No cap, that's the whole description. Short queen behaviour 👑

lowkey obsessed with how little this function has to say about itself. confidence? unmatched. 💀
