die_is_signed_type(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, meet die_is_signed_type — that's the manual page name, and this is the Kernel API Manual, section 9, no cap. The whole gig is: Check whether a type DIE is signed or not 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool die_is_signed_type (Dwarf_Die *tp_die );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• tp_die — a DIE of a type. that's it, that's the argument, and it's giving "type DIE" energy 🦋

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so you hand over tp_die, it gets the encoding of tp_die, and it returns true if the encoding is signed. literally that simple, icon behavior 💖
