remove_from_bin(9)

💅 remove_from_bin(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's remove_from_bin(9) and it's literally the bouncer at the club door for your packer bins 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

remove_from_bin — grab the next data_vio from a bin whose compression has not been canceled. that's it, that's the whole vibe check 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct data_vio * remove_from_bin (struct packer *packer , struct packer_bin *bin );

look at her go 😭 she returns a struct data_vio *, no cap

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• packer — the packer itself. the main character of this whole situation 👑
• bin — the bin you're pulling a data_vio out of. yes, that bin 🍓

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea, bestie: any canceled data_vios are getting moved to the canceled bin. they don't get to hang out here anymore, they're being relocated. the way that this function just handles it for you 🫶

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

you get back an uncanceled data_vio from the bin. or — and this is the important part — NULL if there are none. empty bin, empty hands, no drama 💀

okay this list is LONG, so buckle up bestie, we're going on a journey 🧚
