ice_fill_valid_words(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to ice_fill_valid_words(9) — yes, that's the Kernel API Manual page, and the function is literally called ice_fill_valid_words, and its whole job is to count valid words. that's the name, that's the vibe, no cap. ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

u8 ice_fill_valid_words (struct ice_adv_lkup_elem *rule , struct
       ice_prot_lkup_ext *lkup_exts );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • rule — the advanced rule that's carrying the lookup information. it's giving "here's what we're matching" energy.
  • lkup_exts — the byte offset extractions of the words that are valid. basically the receipts for which words made the cut. 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does it actually do? it calculates valid words in a lookup rule using mask value. periodt. that's the assignment, and it ate. no extra lore, no secret side quests — just valid-word counting via the mask value. 💅
