*ent );

that's the whole signature, copy it exactly pls, character for character, no editing 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

LOCKING: Inherited from caller.

that's it. that's the whole description. not me expecting a whole essay and getting one line 😭 but honestly? iconic. inherited locking means you the caller deal with the lock situation — it's giving "not my problem, that's your main character energy to handle" 💅 so please, for the love of everything, know what lock you're holding before you call this fr fr

lowkey important: the locking is inherited from the caller, so whatever lock state you're in when you call this is the lock state you get. don't come for me, I'm just the messenger 🫶
