replay_entries_cmp(9)

💅 replay_entries_cmp 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the replay_entries_cmp(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — it's a tiny helper with a very specific little job, and we're gonna get into it. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

replay_entries_cmp — compare 2 replay entries. That's it, that's the assignment. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int replay_entries_cmp (void *priv , const struct list_head *a , const struct list_head *b );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• priv — UBIFS file-system description object. It's the context bestie being passed along. 💅
• a — first replay entry. The one on the left, obvs.
• b — second replay entry. The one on the right, no cap.

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

This is the comparios function for list_sort — yes, that's the spelling on the page, and we're keeping every detail, bestie. It compares the 2 replay entries a and b by comparing their sequence number.

It returns 1 if a has a greater sequence number and -1 otherwise. Tiny comparator, very main character energy. ✨
