get_subsequent_smbios_entry(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is get_subsequent_smbios_entry(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally here to get the next entry from bios table 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void __iomem * get_subsequent_smbios_entry (void __iomem *smbios_start ,
       void __iomem *smbios_table , void __iomem *curr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• smbios_start — where to start in the SMBIOS table, bestie 📍
• smbios_table — location of the SMBIOS table, like its vibe-check address 🗺️
• curr — NULL or pointer to previously returned structure 👀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Gets the first entry if previous == NULL; otherwise, returns the next entry. Uses global SMBIOS Table pointer. No cap, that's the whole move 🫶

Returns a pointer to an SMBIOS structure or NULL if none found. So like, if there's nothing left to find, you get NULL and that's the tea 😭💀
