list_is_first(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for list_is_first(9) — yes, that’s the manual name, and we’re folding it in right here near the top like a good little header. ✨

list_is_first - - tests whether @list is the first entry in list @head. That’s literally the whole name vibe: it’s giving “is this entry first?” energy. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int list_is_first (const struct list_head *list , const struct list_head
       *head );

No cap, that’s the signature exactly as it appears. Copy it, don’t improvise it. 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• list — the entry to test, bestie. This is the one you’re asking about. 👀
• head — the head of the list. The main character of the list situation. 👑
