💅 qed_get_proc...kill_counter(9) — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the <pink>Kernel API Manual</pink> page for qed_get_proc...kill_counter(9). yes that's the whole name, no we're not abbreviating it, it's giving ✨dramatic✨ and honestly? iconic. this is a <cyan>section 9</cyan> kernel API page so it's the "for the coders" side of the man pages, not the "help i typed ls wrong" side. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, we're reading a whole page together.

       qed_ptt *p_ptt );

literally just copy that into your file and you're so good. signature unchanged, no cap 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

two args, both mandatory, both your besties:
