dim_on_top(9)

💅 dim_on_top(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — today's main character is dim_on_top(9), and honestly? she's a little vibe-checker. ✨

---

🌸 NAME

dim_on_top — check if current state is a good place to stop (top location) 🎀

like, is this a cute spot to park? that's literally her whole job.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS

bool dim_on_top (struct dim *dim );

yep, that's it. returns a bool, takes one struct dim *, slays. 💅

---

🍓 ARGUMENTS

• dim — the DIM context, bestie. it's giving "hand me the whole situation" energy.

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function checks if the current profile is a good place to park at.

the consequence? it reduces the DIM checks frequency, because we're assuming we shouldn't probably change profiles — unless the traffic pattern wasn't changed. 🫶

so like, it's a "chill, we're good here" signal. no cap. 😌
