ice_pkg_advance_sect(9)

bestie, this is ice_pkg_advance_sect(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s giving kernel-helper realness 💅✨ no cap.

💖 NAME 💖

ice_pkg_advance_sect — (the original page really leaves the description after the dash blank, bestie 😭 not me inventing lore)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here’s the signature, literally character for character:

bool ice_pkg_advance_sect (struct ice_seg *ice_seg , struct ice_pkg_enum
       *state );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

okay so there are two arguments, both pointers, both main character energy:

• ice_seg — pointer to the ice segment (or NULL on subsequent calls) 🫶
• state — pointer to the enum state ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so this helper function will advance the section within the ice segment, and it will also advance the buffer if needed. that’s the whole vibe, and it’s lowkey iconic. ✨
