expect(9)

💅 NAME

expect — bestie, it makes an assertion ✨

(Yes, that's expect from section 9 of the kernel API manual — we're in kernel-land now, no cap 🧚)

---

📜 SYNOPSIS

expect (x , exp );

That's the whole vibe. Two args, one macro, zero drama 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• x — -- undescribed -- 🙈 okay so the docs genuinely do not say what this is. Not me making something up — it's literally marked undescribed in the source, so I'm not gonna invent lore for it, iykyk.
• exp — -- undescribed -- same situation, bestie 😭 also undescribed in the original. Respect the mystery.

fr fr, both of these are listed in the manual as -- undescribed --. That's not me being lazy, that's the actual documentation. 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION

Okay so here's the tea 🔥: unlike the assert macro, this macro returns a boolean result.

That's the entire description and honestly? It ate. assert goes "nope, we're aborting" and this one just hands you back a boolean and lets you decide. Main character energy, truly 👑⭐

🌸 SEE ALSO

• Kernel file ./drivers/block/drbd/drbd_polymorph_printk.h 🦋 — go look at it if you want the full picture, bestie.

---

💀 reminder: all the technical deets above are exactly what the page says — I'm just here to make the vibe check pass. Don't come for me if x and exp stay mysterious, that's on the manpage, not me 🙈
