ethnl_bitmap32_equal(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, this one is ethnl_bitmap32_equal(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual — and it does exactly what it says on the tin: compares two bitmaps. 💅 No drama, just bits.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool ethnl_bitmap32_equal (const u32 *map1 , const u32 *map2 , unsigned
       int nbits );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• map1 — first bitmap. The one on the left side of the comparison, living its main character life.
• map2 — second bitmap. The one on the right side, ready to be compared.
• nbits — bit size to compare. Like, how many bits are we actually checking? That's the number.

💖 RETURN 💖

true if the first nbits are equal, false if not. Periodt. No plot twist, no hidden lore — just a good old boolean answer. ✨
