local_add_unless(9)

🎀 local_add_unless(9) 🎀

Okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for local_add_unless(9) — it's giving tiny atomic-helper main character energy, and we're gonna get through it together, no cap. 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

local_add_unless — add unless the number is already a given value ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool local_add_unless (local_t *l , long a , long u );

---

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

• l — a pointer of type local_t, periodt. 🫶
• a — the amount to add to l... 👀
• u — ...unless l is equal to u. 💅

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So the page says it atomically adds a to l, if v was not already u. Yes, the original really says v right there — I'm keeping it exactly as written, bestie, not me fixing anything. 🙈

And it returns true if the addition was done. ✨
