ice_calc_recp_cnt(9)

💖 ice_calc_recp_cnt(9) 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a tiny little function that does one (1) very specific math thing and then dips. main character energy of a helper that knows exactly what it's about. no cap. 🌸

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_calc_recp_cnt — literally just "calculate number of recipes based on word count". that's it. that's the whole gig. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_calc_recp_cnt (u8 word_cnt );

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• word_cnt — the number of lookup words. that's the count, babe. 🦋

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe check: word count should include switch ID word and regular lookup words. that's the whole description fr fr — both the switch ID word and the regular lookup words have to be in that word_cnt, so don't come in here counting only half of them and then act surprised. 💅

---

✨ RETURN ✨

it hands you back the number of recipes required to fit word_cnt — and yes, that includes the extra recipes you need for recipe chaining (if needed). so if chaining is in play, those extras are already baked in. 🍓
