🌸 NAME 🌸

get_pseries_errorlog — Find a specific pseries error log in an RTAS extended event log.

yeah that's it, that's the whole mission statement 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

noinstr struct pseries_errorlog * get_pseries_errorlog (struct
rtas_error_log *log , uint16_t section_id );

look at that signature, she's gorgeous, she's noinstr, she returns a struct pseries_errorlog * — main character energy honestly 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• log — the RTAS error/event log, aka the big pile you're digging through 🗂️
• section_id — a two character section identifier, like the little name tag on the section you actually want 🏷️

💀 RETURN 💀

A pointer to the specified errorlog, or NULL if it's not found 😭

so like… check for NULL, bestie. always. it's giving "found nothing, hope you handled it" 🙈
