list_for_each_continue(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💜 list_for_each_continue — continue iteration over a list 💜

okay so bestie, we're in the kernel API manual, section 9, and today's main character is list_for_each_continue. no cap, it does exactly what it says on the tin 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

list_for_each_continue (pos , head );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. two args, zero drama 🦋

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • pos — the struct list_head you're using as your loop cursor. it's literally the little guy pointing at where you're at rn 💅
  • head — the head for your list. your list's home base, its main character energy 👑

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so here's the tea ☕ — you keep iterating over a list, but you pick up right after your current position. like, you don't restart from the beginning, you just continue the stroll from where you're standing. continuing after the current position, exactly as advertised. ate and left no crumbs ✨

lowkey if you were looking for the "start from scratch" version, that's a different function bestie — this one is team continue, not team reset 🙈
