💅 pt_load_single_entry (9) — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay bestie so this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's genuinely such a vibe — a whole function that's basically the solo edition of pt_load_entry(), built to be used from inside a walker ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

pt_load_single_entry — the version of pt_load_entry() that's usable within a walker 🫶

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

enum pt_entry_type pt_load_single_entry (struct pt_state *pts );

like, that's the whole signature, no cap 💖

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pts — the Iteration State 🌈 (yes that's literally its job, she's carrying the walk state for you)

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea 🍓: this is the alternative to for_each_pt_level_entry for the specific case where your walker function only ever touches a single entry. that's it, that's the whole situation — one entry, one function, iconic behaviour 💅

like if for_each_pt_level_entry is the whole group chat, pt_load_single_entry is the DM. different energy, same friend group 😌

ngl, keep it straight: it's an alternative to for_each_pt_level_entry when the walker function uses only a single entry. no extra lore, that's the fact fr fr ✨
