ct_state(9) ๐Ÿ’…โœจ

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual glow-up for ct_state โ€” she's a tiny context-tracking check-in and she's here to spill the state tea ๐Ÿซ–๐Ÿ’–


๐ŸŒธ NAME ๐ŸŒธ

ct_state โ€” return the current context tracking state if known ๐Ÿ‘‘

โœจ SYNOPSIS โœจ

int ct_state (void );

๐ŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS ๐ŸŽ€

  • void โ€” no arguments, not a single one, zero, zilch, nada ๐Ÿซถ

๐Ÿ’ซ DESCRIPTION ๐Ÿ’ซ

okay so if context tracking is enabled, this function returns the current cpu's context tracking state. if context tracking is disabled, it returns CT_STATE_DISABLED โ€” that's the fallback vibe ๐Ÿ’…

๐Ÿซถ heads up bestie: this should be used primarily for debugging. it's giving diagnostic main character energy, not everyday API realness โœจ
