fc_get_event_number(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… fc_get_event_number β€” bestie edition πŸ’…

okay so real talk, this is fc_get_event_number(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a little guy with one job and it slays at it. let's get into it πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

fc_get_event_number β€” grab the next sequential FC event number, no thoughts head empty, just numbers going up πŸ’«


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u32 fc_get_event_number (void );

like… that's it. that's the whole vibe. returns a u32, takes nothing. iconic behavior honestly πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • void β€” literally no arguments. zero. nada. it said "i work alone" and meant it πŸ™ˆ

πŸ’œ NOTES πŸ’œ

so here's the tea, bestie β˜• β€” the devs could have inlined this, but doing that would've meant exposing fc_event_seq to the whole world, and like… no. privacy matters. so for now, live with the subroutine call, fr fr. 😭

and the atomic bit? that's there to avoid lock/unlock, which is giving efficiency main character energy ngl πŸ”₯
