π qmgr_stat_b...ow_watermark(9) β like, the whole glow-up
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β¨ this one's called qmgr_stat_b...ow_watermark(9) (yes the title is literally abbreviated like that, no I did not do that, it's giving "ran out of room in the header" energy π) and it's all about a tiny lil function that checks on your queue's vibe. let's get into it π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
qmgr_stat_below_low_watermark β checks if a queue is below low watermark π
like that's it, that's the whole job. it looks at a queue and is like "bestieβ¦ you're kinda low rn" π§
π SYNOPSIS π
int qmgr_stat_below_low_watermark (unsigned int queue );
that's the whole signature, copy it exactly, no cap π
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ

π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
Returns non-zero value if the queue is below low watermark β¨
so yeah β you hand it a queue, it tells you if that queue is sitting below its low watermark. non-zero means "yes, she's low", zero means "no, she's fine" π that's the entire plot, no plot twists, we love a short king of a function π
