parse_events__filter_pmu(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is parse_events__filter_pmu(9), and its whole personality is a vibe check for wildcard PMUs: it returns false if a wildcard PMU should be considered, and true if it should be filtered. no cap, that's the entire tea. the way this tiny function has main character energy? iconic. 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature, untouched and slay, because we do not mess with code:

bool parse_events__filter_pmu (const struct parse_events_state
       *parse_state , const struct perf_pmu *pmu );

that's it, fr fr. 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• parse_state — -- undescribed -- 😭 the manpage literally gives us no description here, so I'm not gonna invent one, bestie.
• pmu — -- undescribed -- 🙈 same energy; the source keeps it mysterious.
