mas_walk(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ mas_walk(9) β€” the maple state glow-up walk πŸ’…

okay so bestie, you're looking at mas_walk from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's giving "just go find the thing" energy. no cap. let's get into it 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

mas_walk β€” Search for @mas->index in the tree.

like literally, it walks the tree hunting for @mas->index. that's the whole vibe. πŸŽ€


⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

void * mas_walk (struct ma_state *mas );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • mas β€” The maple state. yes queen, that's your state struct and she's the main character here πŸ‘‘

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so here's the tea β˜•: mas->index and mas->last will be set to the range if there is a value. that's it, that's the assignment. ✨

and if mas->status is ma_none, it resets to ma_start. little reset moment, we love a fresh start 🧚


🌈 RETURN 🌈

the entry at the location or NULL.

(so like... either you get your entry, or you get nothing. NULL. it's a vibe check and sometimes you fail it 😭)


πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

bestie there are SO many of these and i'm not skipping a single one, we're doing the full tour πŸ‘‘

and the Kernel file to go peek at: ./lib/maple_tree.c πŸ“‚ β€” that's where all the lore lives, iykyk.


k that's the whole page, mwah πŸ’‹ stay hydrated, read your kernel source, and remember: mas_walk is literally just searching for @mas->index in the tree. periodt. 🌸

sign-off cuteness πŸŽ€: this served from the ./lib directory, dated October 2026, and it's mas_walk(9) forever and always. bye bestie!! πŸ’œπŸ¦‹
