db_for_each_64(9)

💅 db_for_each_64(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so we're in the db_for_each_64(9) page of the Kernel API Manual and honestly it's giving "tiny function, big main character energy" ✨ stick with me.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

db_for_each_64 — the iterator for 64 bit entries, periodt 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int db_for_each_64 (const struct os_area_db *db , const struct
os_area_db_id *match_id , struct db_iterator *i );

lowkey that's the whole vibe right there 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• db — so the manpage itself literally just says -- undescribed -- 😭 like the docs said "figure it out bestie". Not me making stuff up though, no cap — that's all it says. 🙈
• match_id — also -- undescribed -- 💀 same energy, the source was busy.
• i — and yep, -- undescribed -- too 🎀 the trio of mystery arguments, iconic honestly.

fr fr, I'm not gonna invent descriptions for these — the original page doesn't describe them, so neither do I. if you wanna know more, go read the headers, iykyk 👑

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the actual tea 🍓: a NULL value for id can be used to match all entries. like, every single one. the whole roster. main character matching energy 💅

and it's not just NULL — you can also use OS_AREA_DB_OWNER_ANY and OS_AREA_DB_KEY_ANY to match all. so that's three whole ways to say "yeah give me everything" 🌈💖
