✨ dynevent_arg_init ✨

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 πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

dynevent_arg_init β€” initialize a dynevent_arg object πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

void dynevent_arg_init (struct dynevent_arg *arg , char separator );

like, that's the whole signature, no cap ✨


πŸ’– ARGUMENTS πŸ’–

  • arg β€” a pointer to the struct dynevent_arg that represents the arg 🫢 you're handing it over so it can get all set up
  • separator β€” an (optional) separator, and it gets appended after adding the arg πŸ’«

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so the whole vibe of this function is: initialize a dynevent_arg object ✨

and what even is a dynevent_arg? bestie it's an object used to append single arguments to the current command string πŸ‘‘ 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 πŸ”₯ 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 πŸ’€βœ¨ lowkey a nice little default, honestly.

so: arg goes in, separator follows, and if you left separator out it's a space. periodt 🌈
