init_event_struct(9)

💅 init_event_struct — bestie edition ✨

okay so real talk, this is init_event_struct(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the "get your event struct dressed and ready" function 🎀

---

🦋 NAME 🦋

init_event_struct — initializes the fields in an event struct that are always required. like, the non-negotiables. the bare minimum glow-up before your event goes out into the world 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void init_event_struct (struct srp_event_struct *evt_struct , void
(*done) (struct srp_event_struct *) , u8 format , int timeout );

no cap, that's the whole signature. void return, four args, she's not here to give you anything back 💀

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• evt_struct — the event. that's it, that's the arg. the event itself, the main character 👑
• done — the routine to call when the event is responded to. like a little callback bestie that gets pinged the moment someone answers 🫶
• format — SRP or MAD format. pick your vibe, there are exactly two 🦋
• timeout — the timeout value, set in the CRQ. that's the number of time units of patience she's willing to have ⏳
