🌸 NAME 🌸

hey bestie, welcome to the local_add_return(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one is literally local_add_return — add and return, that's the whole vibe.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

long local_add_return (long i , local_t *l );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• i — integer value to add, okay? the number going in 🫶
• l — pointer to type local_t, yup, that's the target 💅

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Atomically adds i to l and returns i + l. no cap, that's the move ✨ atomic means it does the add as one unit, and then it hands you back the sum like "here bestie, i + l" 🎀
