πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • entry β€” the entry for which the skb will be applicable. yes bestie, that entry. the one the skb is for. 🫢
  • gfp β€” ok so the original doc literally says -- undescribed -- 😭😭 not me reading the source of truth and it's just a void where the description should be. so yeah. gfp is here, it exists, and the manual is not gonna tell you what it does. mystery queen behavior fr fr πŸ™ˆ
