β¨ dynevent_arg_init β¨
okay bestie so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about dynevent_arg_init β yes the (9) just means it's a kernel function, we're in the big leagues now π
πΈ NAME πΈ
dynevent_arg_init β initialize a dynevent_arg object π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void dynevent_arg_init (struct dynevent_arg *arg , char separator );
like, that's the whole signature, no cap β¨
π ARGUMENTS π
argβ a pointer to thestruct dynevent_argthat represents the arg π«Ά you're handing it over so it can get all set upseparatorβ an (optional) separator, and it gets appended after adding the arg π«
π§ DESCRIPTION π§
so the whole vibe of this function is: initialize a dynevent_arg object β¨
and what even is a dynevent_arg? bestie it's an object used to append single arguments to the current command string π like it's the little helper that slides one argument at a time into whatever command string you're building.
here's the tea on how it flows π₯ β after the arg string is successfully appended to the command string, the optional separator gets appended too. and if you didn't specify a separator when you initialized the arg? no worries, a space gets appended instead πβ¨ lowkey a nice little default, honestly.
so: arg goes in, separator follows, and if you left separator out it's a space. periodt π
