πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ most_write_completion β€” kernel API bestie edition πŸ’…

okay so this is most_write_completion(9), a kernel API page, and it's genuinely one of the shorter ones so we can totally get through it together 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

most_write_completion β€” the write completion handler, aka the little function that cleans up after a write is done ✨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

void most_write_completion (struct mbo *mbo );

that's it. one function, one argument, no drama πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • mbo β€” the most buffer, bestie. that's the whole argument. it's giving "minimalist icon" πŸ’–

πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

so what does it do? This recycles the MBO for further usage. πŸ” like, it takes the buffer and puts it back in rotation so it can be used again β€” reduce, reuse, recycle but make it kernel ✨

In case the channel has been poisoned, the MBO is scheduled to be trashed. πŸ’€ yeah, if the channel got poisoned then the MBO doesn't get recycled, it gets scheduled to be trashed instead. no cap, that's the whole behaviour.
