💖 ice_pkg_enum_entry(9) — from the Kernel API Manual 💖

Hiii bestie!! Welcome to ice_pkg_enum_entry(9) from the Kernel API Manual. This is the whole page, translated into group-chat, but every fact is staying exactly where it belongs. 🫶✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_pkg_enum_entry — and that’s literally it, bestie. The original NAME section is just the function name plus a dash. No description, no extra lore, just main-character name energy. 💅

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

       void * ice_pkg_enum_entry (struct ice_seg *ice_seg , struct ice_pkg_enum
       *state , u32 sect_type , u32 *offset , void *(*handler)(u32 sect_type,
       void *section, u32 index, u32 *offset) );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ice_seg — pointer to the ice segment (or NULL on subsequent calls). 🧊
  • state — pointer to the enum state. 🌀
  • sect_type — section type to enumerate. 🔎
  • offset — pointer to variable that receives the offset in the table (optional). 📍
  • handler — function that handles access to the entries into the section type. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this function will enumerate all the entries in a particular section type in the ice segment. The first call is made with the ice_seg parameter non-NULL; on subsequent calls, ice_seg is set to NULL, which continues the enumeration. When the function returns a NULL pointer, then the end of the entries has been reached. Periodt. 💖

Since each section may have a different header and entry size, the handler function is needed to determine the number and location entries in each section. (Yes, “number and location entries” is exactly how the original says it — keeping it, bestie. 😭)

Offset tea: the offset parameter is optional, but it should be used for sections that contain an offset for each section table. For those cases, the section handler function must return the appropriate offset + index to give the absolution offset for each entry. The page really says “absolution”, and we are not editing it — no cap. 💀

For example, if the base for a section’s header indicates a base offset of 10, and the index for the entry is 2, then the section handler function should set the offset to 10 + 2 = 12. Math slay. 🧮✨
